Iris Nebula, Dark Scorpion Nebula and Ghost Nebula

In the second half of April and the beginning of May, I captured dark nebulae in the vicinity of the Iris Nebula. I published an image with stars and, for a better representation of the morphology of the nebulae, also an image without stars.

To the left of the central nebula, which is the star of the captured field, you can see the dark nebulae named Ghost nebula. To the right of the Iris Nebula, you can see a cluster of dark nebulae called the Dark Scorpion (LDN 1147, 1148, 1155, 1158, 1137, 1152,...).

The exposure was 258x180s, using a UV/IR cut filter.

Remaining equipment:

SW EQ6-R + Deep Sky Dad MC1 with encoder (no guiding)
Deep Sky Dad AF3 autofocuser
Deep Sky Dad DCHUB2 splitter
Deep Sky Dad FP1 upgraded calibration panel
Deep Sky Dad FR1 field rotator

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.
