Cederblad 30, Barnard 10 Dark Nebula RASA 8 OSC

Another fun dark nebula target. I had a clear new moon night, but unfortunately did not get home until nearly 11:30 pm. Still I decided to get both the RASA8 and Askar400 out. Well worth it in my opinion, even for 5 hour. I will likely return to add more data to this capture as it will be in the sky for several months.

I find Cederblad 30 / Barnard to 10 to be a fascinating reflection nebula in the context of dark nebula within the Taurus molecular cloud. The bright star casting an orange glow hidden by the dust along with the similar features in the area of center part of the image . The swirling appearance of the dust in this area proves to have a sand storm quality to my eye. I had a hard time finding info about the area and would love any ideas where to further investigate.

I definitely plan to try to bring out some more detail and resolution again with this nebulae by adding adding a luminance layer 294 mm at 2.3 um bin 1x1 in the feature. Hopefully, I can also bring some more detail out of the large spiral galaxy IC 359 located in the bottom right of the frame as well.

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.
