Barnard 8 (with 9, 11, 12 and 13)

This object is an unassuming series of faint dark nebulae located in the constellation of Camelopardalis at a declination of +55 degrees. As seen in the mouseover, this object contains many LDN objects.

Like many dark nebulae, little information is available on these objects. Their distances are not known.

There are usually a few interesting nuggets to be uncovered when imaging these obscure objects, but unfortunately I did not find any unexpected jewels here. The most interesting things is that, as shown in the Astrobin mouseover, the separation of the central dark cloud into 4 distinct dark nebulae (Barnard 8, 9, 11 and 13) does not make much sense to me.

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.
