Soul Nebula (Foraxx) - Westerhout 5, Sharpless 2-199, LBN 667

English:

The Soul Nebula is an emission nebula in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is 7,500 light-years away and 100 light-years in diameter. The star-forming region contains many young stars that are only a few million years old. There are several open star clusters inside. Among them IC 1848, which is often referred to when naming the nebula.

First Light with the Askar Duo D2 (Oiii+Sii) filter. I made a SHO combination with the Optolong L-Extreme filter, but I didn't like the colors. That's why I used the Foraxx color palette. I drove out of Berlin for one night and took photos under a Bortle 4 sky. The rest of the images were taken in Berlin over three nights between December and February (2023-2024) (Bortle 6-7).

Deutsch:

Der Seelennebel ist ein Emissionsnebel im Perseusarm der Milchstraße im Sternbild Kassiopeia. Er ist 7500 Lichtjahre entfernt und hat einen Durchmesser von 100 Lichtjahren. Das Sternentstehungsgebiet enthält viele junge Sterne, die erst wenige Millionen Jahre alt sind. In seinem Inneren befinden sich mehrere offene Sternhaufen. Unteranderem IC 1848, auf den bei der Bezeichnung des Nebels oft Bezug genommen wird.

First Light mit dem Askar Duo D2 (Oiii+Sii) Filter. Zusammen mit dem Optolong L-Extreme Filter habe ich eine SHO Kombination gemacht, aber die Farben haben mir nicht gefallen. Deshalb habe ich die Foraxx Farbpalette benutzt. Für eine Nacht bin ich aus Berlin rausgefahren und habe unter einem Bortle 4 Himmel fotografiert. Der Rest der Bilder wurde in drei Nächten zwischen Dezember und Februar (2023-2024) in Berlin aufgenommen (Bortle 6-7).

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.
