RCW 40

RCW40 (also catalogued as GUM 25) is an HII star forming nebula in the Southern Hemisphere near the Vela region. It is a fairly small emission nebula in Vela, surrounding a short chain of 10th and 11th magnitude stars. It is relatively bright and easy to observe despite the surrounding dust clouds in the region. As with many objects in the Southern skies, there is not much information posted concerning this object.

As true for most southern sky objects, not much has been posted concerning this nebula.

This is from a new Telescope Live dataset with the Planewave CDK24 telescope and QHY600M camera at the El Sauce Observatory in Chile. RCW is depicted here in a SHO palette, with a Lum layer (base on the Ha master) added in late in the process.

The acquisition occurred over several days starting in Mid-January 2022. For Brevity, I entered the acquisition date as the last day of that four day period.

Update:
I apologize for the 2nd posting of this image (although it has been revised very slightly). Somehow, I messed up in the revision process and crashed Astrobin for the original upload. To get it "unstuck", I deleted the entire original posting and started over. So thank you for your patience!!!

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.
