LDN 1235 Nebula

Revision title: LDN 1235 (reworked)

UPDATE: 15 January 2024 Another rainy day so I figured I'd spend my time reworking this image since I was not happy with my previous results. I spend a few hours this morning fine-tuning the color detail if the main image and to bring out more of the surrounding nebulosity. I extracted the stars to work them over too and sharpen them up a little as well as their color. I reintegrated and the attached revision is the result of this mornings work. I'm pleased the image is much better now. Enjoy!
____________

LDN 1235 nebula is part of a very large molecular cloud located in the constellation of Cepheus. There are two blue reflection nebulae, one which is visible in the top of the image frame and the second is located off frame. They are vdB149 and vdB150, illuminated by a nearby spectral type B8IV star.

Imaged over two nights with LRGB filters captured a total of 13.95 hours of data that brought out some finer details of the molecular cloud inside the dark area.

Clear Skies!

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.
