Lynds Dark Nebula 1235 and 1251

Revision title: Reprocessed to clean up some aberrations with the corner stars

This is the first time I've left my backyard to do deep sky imaging. Decided to head out to our local state park (Bortle 4) due to our local astronomy club have a beginners AP night. I figured I could start a shoot and then help out some folks.

This image was from just under 3 hours of imaging using a UV/IR cut filter. It blows away the image I captured (6h 45m) from my backyard the night before. I'll post both images so you can see the difference.

After my initial stretch, the dark nebula were obvious, whereas I had to do a bit of processing and light gradient removal before I saw anything on the stack captured from my Bortle 7 backyard.

I think I'll need to head out there more often.

Title: Target imaged from Bortle 7 backyard

Description: I captured this image the night before I captured the other one. This was captured using the same setup with the exception of using a IDAS LPS P2 filter vs the UV/IR cut filter.

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.
