Sh 2-115 and Sh 2-116

Sharpless 115 is a large, faint emission nebula in Cygnus approximately 1.5 degrees northwest of Deneb. It is powered by the hot stars in the cluster Berkeley 90 which is likely only 100 million years old and still embedded in Sharpless 115. It's located about 7500 light years away and is just under 100 light years in diameter. For a long time, Sharpless 116 was considered a planetary nebula (even with proper designations of Abell 71, PK 085+04.1 and PN G084.9+04.4), but more recent studies indicate it is a small patch of emission nebula.

Taken over several nights: Jun 14, 18, 21 and 24, 2022.

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.
