MBM 7 and MBM 8 High Latitude Cirrus

Link: http://www.jthommes.com/Astro/MBM7%20MBM8%20Region.htm

This image is a 2 panel mosaic. The field shows the region of high galactic latitude cirrus nebulae around MBM 7 and MBM 8. There is also LBN 707 and LBN 711 in this field as well as molecular clouds identified in the PGCC catalog. MBM 7&8 are about 550 to 850 light years distant and about 430 light years south of the galactic plane. The field is fairly rich with background galaxies including Arp 276 (a galactic pair) and NGC 918, 924, 932, 938 as well as many more distandt galaxies. The field shows a number of Quasars (or Quasar candidates) that are visible in the image - the most distant has a redshift of 2.86 and a look back of 11.43 billion years . Toward the right center edge is a distant galaxy cluster WHL J022204.6+184628 - it has a redshift of 0.2249 and is 2.676 billion light years distant. 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.
