LBN 534

LBN534 is a dusty "bright" nebula in Andromeda, and the bright reflection area near the "nose" is vDB 158. This is part of a run of imaging mostly dark and dusty targets, which I think suit my fairly dark skies, RASA and OSC. This nebula doesn't seem to be imaged very much, but it's quite a nice one. Perhaps a bottle opener?

Can't get much colour into my stars - I guess they are a bit over-exposed (F/2.2 and 11 inch aperture make it difficult to avoid this). I should have shot some much shorter exposures for the stars, perhaps, although I've not had much success trying that method with a couple of other attempts (using 5 second exposures). Keep on experimenting I guess.

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.
