SH2-115 & Co

Revision title: SHO + HOO

All-in-all there’s much to see in this busy image, which is an astrophotographer’s treasure trove of exciting objects.

I framed the image around the emission nebula SH2-115 but was unprepared and surprised by the richness of objects that the wider FOV captured. Not far from Deneb, the large blue SH2-115 is energised by the open star cluster Berkley-90. Numerous emission nebula from Lynds' Catalogue of Bright Nebulae (LBN) are adjacent to SH2-115 across much of the northern section of the image. Using the SHO Hubble palette format, the nebulosity forms a rich golden-brown ribbon, which is exquisitely sculpted by the prevailing interstellar forces.

South (right) of SH2-115 is SH2-112, a circular emission nebula thought to be energised by a blue double star BD + 45 3216 at the centre, with dark clouds and filaments contorted around the periphery. Finally, just north-west of SH2-115 is the small but enigmatic SH2-116, AKA Abell 71. This faint, blue disc was originally thought to be a planetary nebula, but this is now in doubt and awaits further research., many of which are worthy of imaging in their own right; maybe I will return here again with a larger focal length one day?

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.
