Barnard 11 on a Star Sea - Camelopardalis - RGB without LP filter

Revision title: v2

I have experimented here a recording with no LP filter (*), in order to increase the signal captured. The result is encouraging, the unprocessed gradients where absolutely acceptable, better than expected, and the stars crisp and displaying nice colors.

Perhaps a LP filter is not always required in suburban contexts with the current LED street lights? Technical suggestions and opinions are welcome.

As regards the subject: this portion of the galactic equator in Camelopardalis, between Cassiopeia and Auriga, is dominated by large dark clouds around Barnard 11 (B11). Simbad groups most of the dark nebulae included in our field here under the common identifier of TGU H994. TGU is an acronym for the Tokyo Gakugei University catalog.
I found no distance estimates, as a reference the not-so-far away Taurus Molecular Cloud is 400-500 ly away.

Note (*): UV/IR is built-in the color camera. I inserted a clear filter to keep the backfocus lenght constant

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.
