Pazmino's Cluster - LDN 1382

I was hoping to capture a much deeper integration of this region but due to endless clouds and moonlight I was only able to gather a fraction of what I originally intended.

I had never heard of or seen images of this area until I stumbled across it on Stellarium while trying to decide on my next project. When I started browsing other images I really liked the contrast between the dark nebulae and background emission.

Despite not being able to capture as much data as I would have wanted, this project was the first time I was able to take new calibration frames with my Primalucelab Giotto. I have generally found taking flats to be not particularly troublesome, but with my Newtonian I have found a lot of variability and had some inconsistent results. I decided to purchase a Giotto with wanting to ensure greater consistency of my calibration data, and having the ability to change both the flat brightness and duration automatically as needed. I am hoping to add the Alto motor soon too. Having the good quality calibration data meant I was able to stretch my data without introducing too much noise or artifacts.

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.
