NGC 5367 and CG12 | Bernes 146 | Cometary globule in Centaurus

This image shows two prominent celestial features: the reflection nebula NGC5367 and the cometary globule CG12. NGC5367 is characterised by its faint but discernible glow, a product of starlight reflected off its gas and dust.

Its blue hues are interspersed with darker dust lanes, offering a layered view into this reflection nebula.In contrast, CG12 appears as a dense, dark mass against the stellar backdrop. Its tail-like feature, reminiscent of a comet's tail, extends into the surrounding space.

I captured this image from a bortle 2 site with only 5h integration as I have been battling with clouds for months and simply unable to capture more data on this target. At least I photographed it during the new moon with the target near the zenith so the data was good and allowed me to process and publish the result.

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.
