The Lynds Dark Nebula catalog was compiled by astronomer Beverly Turner Lynds in the mid-1960s while working at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. She made significant contributions to the study of interstellar matter and star formation. These nebulae are a type of interstellar cloud composed primarily of dust and gas that appears dark or opaque against the background of bright stars or glowing emission nebulae. Dark nebulae do not emit visible light themselves. Instead, they block or absorb the light from background stars or other bright sources, creating a silhouette-like appearance. They are primarily composed of microscopic dust particles, such as carbon-based compounds and silicates, along with cold molecular gas, typically made up of molecular hydrogen (H2).

This image, roughly 1.5 by 1 degree, contains six of these LDN objects: 122, 118, 115, 129, 132, and 146, listed counterclockwise starting from the top left. All six combined silhouettes form what I see as "The Dementors Nebula," inspired by J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter saga.

In the background, more than ten galaxies can be observed as well, with PGC 160996 being the most noticeable, with its spiral arms clearly visible despite its very small apparent size.

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.
