VdB130 in SHO (Robert H. Kutner)

VdB130 in SHO

About VdB130 from irida-observatory.org - "VdB 130 is a reflection nebula associated with a young open cluster in the constellation Cygnus. It is located in the central part of the constellation, about 1.5 ° to the southwest of the star Sadr. Clearly associated with the complex of nebulae beyond the Fissure of Swan, its distance was initially estimated at about 1000 parsecs (about 3260 light years) and subsequently recognized more accurate about 1500 parsecs (4890 light years). It appears illuminated directly by the star HD 228789, which is part of a very young star cluster, forming an OB association, linked to reflection nebula. Linked to this structure is also the small H II region DWB34 and a number of infrared radiation sources. Among these is IRAS 20153 + 3850, coinciding with the young blue star HBHA 3703-01, spectral class B5V or B6V and magnitude 13.6, surrounded in its turn by a small and dense nebula named GM 2-39."

Acquisition Details:
Blink / Subframe Select, Calibrated (60 Dark, 60 Flat, 100 Bias), Star Aligned all images with PixInsight. Used the Normalized Scale Gradient for integration.

For Sii, & Oiii channels: Cropped, EZ Denoise. Just cropped Ha. Channel combined using SHO for RGB (made duplicated 2x for Lum and stars) EZ Soft Stretch, StarNet for star removal, The duplicated -> Lum was Mask Stretched, HDR, LHT, EZStar Reduction, and LRGB Combined with the SHO image.

SHO filter data for stars was mask stretched, stretched, and with an inverted Star Mask replaced with SHO image using Pixel Math to add the nebulosity around select stars.

Combined image was Curves modified w/ & w/o masks, Resample, and Annotated. PS for layer adjustment.

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.
