Reflection Nebula Van den Bergh 16

Acquisition type: Electronically-Assisted Astronomy (EAA, e.g. based on a live video feed)

In my location clear nights are now getting rare. Although these rare clear nights are getting longer, they always have some clouds passing through the images.
I found it to be useful to own also an OSC camera for these fragmented sessions, as the upcoming image from my mono-camera still has to geather light for green and red filters.

This colorful blue nebula is illuminated by the class F, 9th magnitude, star cataloged HIP 16170[1]. VdB 16 is located in the very large Perseus Cloud[1]. This cloud of dust and gas extends over 500 light-years and is host to an abundance of young stars[3]. Located in the upper right of the above image is the dark nebula cataloged B 204 (LDN 1455[1]. This dark cloud of dense dust is almost devoid of any visible stars. Such clouds, however, are sites of new star nurseries hidden by the dense dust and cool gas[4].

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.
