IC348, NGC1333 and the Strawberry Nebula

Here is a reprocessed data-set I collected back in February. Inspired by Peter Shah's recent quite bright image of this area I made a starless version of my data (Star Xterminator in PS), stretched the nebulosity, and gave it a dose of HiPass filtering in PS. Then I brought the stars back. The result is a much brighter image with much more visible dust than in my previous attempt to process the data.

It is a two panel mosaic of data collected over three nights of these rather iconic nebulae, IC348(VdB19) and NGC1333. Fortunately these two reflection nebulae are separated by an interesting mix of dark nebulosity, containing several from the Barnard catalogue including Barnard 3 associated with a large patch of Ha nebulosity (this camera is rather good at capturing Ha also without a filter).

Olly Penrice has pointed out that red Ha nebulosity in LBN749 around Barnard 3 brings a strawberry to mind, and it is easy to agree. So as it has no name maybe we could coin it the Strawberry Nebula?

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.
