Molecular Clouds in Constellation Chameleon and Carina.

Also Galaxy NGC3620, Reflection Nebulae IC2631, Cederblad 110 and Cederblad 111.

Mosaic out of 2 Images.

IMAGE CENTER RA 11:09:14, DEC -77:11:31

IMAGE WIDTH 3d 49' 48.6" x 4d 33' 32.5"

In this dusty area IC2631/Ced112, Ced110 and Ced111 are reflection nebulas. Their declination is strongly Southern (DEC -77), they can be observed exclusively from the regions of the southern hemisphere. IC 2631 reflection nebula is the brightest part of the Chameleon molecular cloud in which the phenomena of star formation creating low-mass stars takes place . This cloud is of great importance in the study of the formation of planetary systems and brown dwarfs.

GN11.07.3 is the orange triangular nebula - an infrared nebula.

Exposures:

The upper part of the mosaic contains:

12xR, 10xG, 10xB all 5 minute exposures.

The lower part of the mosaic contains

14xR, 16xG, 18xB all 5 minute exposures.

Total 400 minutes.

Using a SBIG ST11K on a Takahashy FSQ 106 with 530 mm focal length on a Paramount ME mount.

All images were exposed remotely on the T12 of Siding Spring iTelescop Farm.

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.
