LBN 749 and IC 348

I have wanted to shoot LBN 749 since I first saw it. The combination of gases and reflection nebula makes for a really diversely colored piece of sky.

I struggled for a while with GradientCorrection before switching back to DBE. The undesirable gradients in my integration were indistinguishable to the scaling functions of GC from the ones I wanted to keep I think, so the manual nature of DBE worked better for me this time.

Just around a month and a half ago I had spent some time reading up on the life of Beverly Turner Lynds who compiled the LBN and LDN (Lynds Bright and Dark Nebulae) catalogs among many other significant contributions to astronomy. Here is a great interview with her that I highly recommend: https://www.starformation.news/newsletter/interviews/beverly-lynds.

I just learned the other day that she passed away this October at the age of 95. This image is my small tribute to her memory.

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.
