vdb152 in HaLRGB - Four types of nebulosity in one image

This is a rich area of nebulosity in the constellation Cepheus. This image is unique in that all four types of nebula are visible here. Dark Nebula in the form of the cloud like features, reflection nebula where bright blue and white starlight is reflecting off the dark nebula, emission nebula in the form of the red filaments passing through the image which are remnants left over from an old supernova event and finally a planetary nebula in the lower right which is caused by a star nearing the end of it's life.

This was a challenging image to process. I used the Dream Astrograph in New Mexico that is part of the Skygems network and as usual most of my work was done in PixInsight. I captured mostly LRGB frames but also collected some Ha which was later blended into the red channel and the luminance layer. There were some serious optical reflections to work around, but overall I am really happy with the quality of data that this telescope delivers.

Thanks for stopping by.

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.
