Cederblad 214 & NGC 7822

I’ve been very lucky last September as I had 4 clear nights to spend under the stars. This image is the last one I took last Saturday 28th from my backyard.

I decided to turn my gear to the constellation Cepheus, somewhere half the way between the stars Caph (Cas) and Errai (Cep). This area is home of large nebulas ionized by stellar winds - NGC 7822 at left and Cederblad 214 at right with a wide open cluster at its center, Berkley 59. This complex shows several nice features such dark lanes like LDN 1271 & 1275 lying just above the cluster. Outside the nebula are two open clusters, NGC 7762 about 2'500 l.y. away from Earth, and a second one that I didn’t find the reference as seen on the top-left of the image.

I had again to deal with strong noise but could reach an acceptable background after playing with layers in PS.

Thanks for looking and feel free to comment, critic or suggest any improvement ;-)

Clear skies to you all.

Edit : Found the name of that small OC : King 11 ;-)

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.
