The Cone nebula and friends
My first image as retired😀
A few (sort of) clear nights , dodging clouds and wind, starting out in December I collected just over 8 hrs. of photons from this target.
A well known and frequently imaged, but a well suited target for this setup, and this time I wanted to make room for the companion of the huge Ha nebula, the reflection nebulae IC 446, and IC447, surrounded by a few VdB nebulae.
Below center of the image there is also The NGC 2261 also known as the Hubble`s Variable nebula, after Edwin Hubble who imaged this nebula as first light of the famous Hale telescope on Mount Palomar in January 1949.

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.
