Yes, I am starting to use a new camera, the QHY268 PHC, so one of the test I wanted was a region with dust, dark nebulas and a few other objects, so I choose the region from DOBASHI 5427, the dark region on the top right and DOBASHI 5460, the dark one at the bottom left. Also, the blue object, is the emission nebula vdBH 12a (o BRAN 139), which is in the paper about this object is recognized as a blue one, and also you can see the smaller reflection nebula, a bit above right of the blue one, the vdBH 12b (or BRFN 137). Details of these objects can be seen in the paper "Catalogue of southern stars embedded in nebulosity", Sidney vd Bergh and William Herbst, Astron. J. 80(1975)208. In this case the were the stars HD 70584 and vdBH 12a, and I could not find the number of the star associated, even in a more recent catalogue by Rousseau and Perie, A&A Suppl. Ser 1(1996)517-530.
There are several dark nebulas, ESO 210-6A, BHR 34, BHR 37 and many more.

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.
