NGC 7822 - A big question in space?

I present to you the big question-mark nebula in Cepheus as seen from the city of Sofia in the second part of September Y2021.

It is actually composed of three separate nebulae:
- NGC 7822 - the upper cloud formation with a tidal wave in the middle;
- Cederblad 214 - the face-like central part;
- SH2-170 - the dot;

Looking at the big picture one can see how those regions interact. There are a lot of dark clouds and the pillars of creation inside the face (CED214) are fascinating.
I tried the face last year as well with my L-Extreme filter. Now I was able to compare the results with the IADS NBZ. The second one lets a lot more light in and I have captured quite more details in comparison to last year.

The whole composition is huge so I had to make a 3 panel mosaic. I think all parts managed to fit quite nicely and I gathered new experience in making better and seamless mosaics.

It is quite interesting to observe how the star density increases in the region of the image which is pointing to the Milky Way - near the bottom dot.

Wish you all 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.
