NGC 2170 and the Monoceros R2 Star Forming Region

Link: http://www.jthommes.com/Astro/NGC2170.htm

This field is the center portion of the Monoceros R2 star forming region. The four NGC reflection nebulae (from left to right) are NGC 2170, 2182, 2183, and 2185. The six vdB objects are vdb 67, 68, 69, 72, 73, and 74. Some of these vdB objects also coincide with the NGC objects. Prominent dark nebulae around the reflection nebulae and star forming areas are Dobashi 4977, 4978, 4980 and PGCC G214.21-12.42. As a star forming region, many stars are not visible in visual spectrum because they are obscured by interstellar matter and dust. Open cluster MWSC 0771 is seen in the visual spectrum. Three other open clusters can only be seen in the IR spectrum (3.4 micron). The annotated image shows a false color overlay of IR imaging from the WISE survey. The open clusters NGC 2183 Cluster, Mon R2 Stellar Cluster, and MWSC 0732 pop out in the IR overlay. 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.
