I fought with fog and clouds a lot of the night. A lot of the light frames that I used for my image were less than ideal. However I was able to process an image. I got a new scope for Christmas and I was determined to try it out. I am definitely a fan of small aperture ED glass refractors.

My image is a little rough looking for my taste and I may reprocess it later when my eyes and brain have rested. However this was the best I could do tonight.

Description: I decided to completely reprocess my image today. It was late last night when I was processing the image and I was tired. I must have reprocessed the image 5 or 6 times. As I was stretching the image today to bring out more nebulosity I noticed another nebula coming out to the left of Barnard's Loop. To say it was dim would be an overstatement. I worked on it a couple of hours today and was able to bring out enough of the nebulosity to where I could make out that the nebula was LDN the Boogyman Nebula. This is the first time that I've captured LDN 1622 in an image. It's pitiful compared to a lot of the images I see on Astrobin of this object but it is the Boogyman Nebula.

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.
