LBN 762 also known as the Drunken Dragon Nebula is a bright reflection nebula in the constellation Aries. It was identified in 1950 by B. Lynds and was later determined to be part of a much larger molecular cloud by Magnani, Blitz and Mundy who cataloged it as MBM13. This region has a lot of gas and dust and is believed to be one of the closest stellar nurseries at approximately 1000 light-years. This is one of those times where you really have to have an imagination to see the 'Dragon' but it is probably better imagined as the 'Dragon Head', at any rate the nebula is quite stunning and rich in dust.
Some of my favorite the dust structures are the isolated vertical linear strands on the lower portion - they look like they are raining downward. In addition to the nebula there are a number of galaxies showing spiral structure throughout the FOV.

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.
