LDN1399/1400 - snapshot of rarely imaged dark nebulosity

Very early on Xmas day morning it cleared here and the moon had fallen below the horizon, so I aimed the RASA 8 at this patch of rarely imaged dark nebulosity in Camelopardalis. Googling it gave no images and very few on Astrobin. I started at 02.42 but unfortunately I found next morning that my AstroImager had stopped downloading subs and frozen at 04.25. So I only got 16 x 5min subs, so 80 minutes. No filter used. Being an f/2 scope, the RASA still collected enough data to make a relatively presentable image although I really need more data whenever it clears again.

In version C, I have made an effort to identify the LDN numbers for the dark clounds in the image. At least one of the more striking ones seems to be missing in Lynds Dark Nebula catalog. Note that LDN 1392 = Barnard 8, LDN 1396 = Barnard 11, LDN 1407 = Barnard 12, and LDN 1405 = Barnard 21

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.
