This image is a data composition of starless HOO (FORAXX) + starless RGB + RGB stars. The idea is to show emission structures as well as ISM (non-emission) structures - and finally to show spectrographic color calibrated stars.

The image shows the region centered about IC 5068 (also known as LBN 328). Included are LBN 320, 327, 329, 332, 348/349 and dark nebulae LDN 915. Several dark nebulae from the TGU catalog are in this region - TGU H497 P3, P9, P11, P15, P19, and P20. There are dusty clouds (ISM) throughout this region - they are the darkish brown areas seen in the image. Some of the bright stars shown in the annotation range from 470 light years to 2,620 light years distant. Distance for IC 5068 and surrounding nebulosity is difficult to pin down, but it is believed to be in the 1,600 light year range. These objects and some of the brighter stars are identified in the annotated image.

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.
