vdB 152 - Cosmic gases in velvet red stripes!

=_aacl _aaco _aacu _aacx _aad7 _aadeOne of the most interesting targets I have captured and a real pain to process...
The region includes a blue reflection nebula known as VDB152 at the tip of the long dark nebula known as LDN1217. It's also rich in faint Hydrogen gas (captured separately with a duoband filter), a small portion of which is shown here - this is part of a very large nearby supernova remnant SNR 110.3+11.3 - you can see this in images with bigger fields.
Last but not least there is also planetary nebula PN G111.0+11.6 at the bottom right of the image.

''Fun'' fact - Lost nearly 6 hours worth of OSC data due to a disk failure..

Clear skies all!

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.
