This is my first attempt using the new Sigma Art 135mm f1.8 lens and ASI294MM-C camera.

The field of view (FOV) was amazing, covering a wide angle of 5º

Although I require further practice to fully explore the capabilities of this new optic, I am delighted with the initial results of this test.

LBN 1228 is a region of gas and dust that is illuminated by the intense radiation from nearby young, hot stars.
It is also sometimes referred to as Sharpless 2-132 or Sh2-132.LBN 552, on the other hand, is also an emission nebula located in the same region of the sky as LBN 1228, and is sometimes referred to as Sharpless 2-138 or Sh2-138.
It is thought to be approximately 4,000 light-years away from Earth and is estimated to be around 30 light-years across.

Like LBN 1228, LBN 552 is a region of gas and dust that is illuminated by nearby young, hot stars.
t is also known for its intricate filaments of gas and dust, which create a beautiful and unique appearance.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
