Lobster Claw and Bubble Nebulae (Sh2-157 and NGC 7635) in HOO

Data captured on 10/06/2021, 10/07/2021, 10/09/2021, and 10/17/2021. I had to throw out a large chunk of data as I was battling dew and didn't have a dew heater at this point, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out anyway.

This is a busy and interesting region of the sky with all sorts of different things going on.

The Lobster Claw Nebula (Sh2-157) is a bright emission nebula at an estimated distance between 8,000 and 17,000 light years from Earth. It's a large region spanning about a degree in our sky.

The Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) is an H II emission nebula and is located between 7,000 and 11,000 light years from Earth. The bubble is 7 light years across - about 1.5x the distance to our nearest star and is created by the stellar wind of its hot central O-type star that is 45 times more massive than our sun.

The Northern Lagoon Nebula ❨NGC 7538❩ is an emission and reflection nebula located about 9,100 light years from Earth. Within in lies the largest discovered protostar (a young star that is still gathering mass from its surrounding molecular cloud) at over 300 times the size of our solar system. It is a region of active star formation.

Sh2-159 is an H II region located approximately 10,000 light years from Earth that contains a compact source of radio waves surrounding its class O9 V star that causes most of the nebula's ionization.

NGC 7510 is an open star cluster (a cluster of a few thousand stars formed from the same giant molecular cloud) located 11,400 light years away. The stars in this region are very young, at only about 10 million years old.

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.
