Ok, I was after a few very weak objects in the nearby of NGC 4052, so I didn't intend to focus on this O Cluster. But destiny decides quite differently. Starting with some problems due to bad conditions in the middle and high altitude clouds (a kind of mist), then tracking was not all the best, and finally, after a few hours, Windows decides to do a software upgrade, it is so nice when windows shuts down and freeze everything and then... re initialize and all the software that was running goes to deep space...so, to summarize, I lost 70% of the session....

So, just to train, I did analyse the data that was saved...it is nod bad but it was not intended to.
Anyway, there are also a couple of Ruprecht OC's and some dark structures.

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.
