NGC 7822 is a young star-forming complex located in the constellation Cepheus, about 3,000 light-years away from Earth. It spans over 100 light-years across and contains several star clusters, such as NGC7762 (center right of the image), surrounded by glowing gas and dust. The complex is believed to have formed as a result of the compression of gas and dust by shockwaves from nearby supernovae explosions or massive stars.

NGC 7822 is particularly interesting to astronomers because it contains a high concentration of massive stars, which have a significant impact on their surroundings. The complex is also rich in organic molecules, including complex hydrocarbons, which makes it a target for astrobiological research.

Nearly 30h hours of images were needed to capture this color image from my backyard observatory located in Prades (Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain) this 2023. Its colors are the result of mapping the data captured with narrowband filters that capture the atomic hydrogen, oxygen and sulfur emissions, in a natural color palette as follows: red (sulfur + hydrogen), green (hydrogen + oxygen), blue (oxygen). Broadband filters (R, G, B) have been used to capture the star's colors.

The full image covers an area of 3º36' x 2º58' at a resolution of 2.59"/pixel.Thanks for your time on this website.

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.
