NGC 7635 and Messier 52. The Bubble Nebula-Taking advantage of Daylight Savings Time!

The sea kayaker in me really hates Daylight Savings Time. I either have to put lights on my kayak, or I have to be done by 4:30p here in New England, USA. The astrophotographer in me, loves DST!! I was up and running by 5:30p! Now, this time of year I only have a select group of targets that I can see from where I live that early. I have trees to the NE, and West, and have to wait till later for northern targets to show up over the roof of the house where I live. So polar targets are a good place to start. I find the Bubble Nebula fascinating, and have imaged it before, but with new found skills I wanted to try again! I am very happy with this image. I only had about 4 hours as I had to work very early the next day, and I do not have a set it and forget kind of setup. I have to monitor my setup. Clouds came in right at the 4 hour mark so it was perfect. I did have some focus drifting so had to get ride of about 12 images. Overall a great and unexpected clear night! 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.
