The Coffee Bean RCW_98 and its companion RCW_96 and RCW_97

Norma is a constellation full of nice objects, and this time here we have the RCW 98, known as the Coffee bean nebula due to its shape, and the more diffuse RCW 97 as well as the small RCW 96, another nice cotton ball.

As I could get information, there has not been identified the ionising star for RCW 96, and RCW 97 is in a region of star formation. For RCW it ionised by a subgiant star CPD-54 6791.

Normal processing, DSS for stacking, using Flats and Darks (25), PxI for colour calibration, background extraction using DBE, and stretching using Histogram and curve transformation for further stretching. Later colour enhancement and balance using GIMP.

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.
