vdB 96 and LBN 1059

North is up in this image. The large red emission nebula is part of LBN 1059 which is a part of the larger yet Sharpless 310. This field covers less than half of the LBN 1059 structure. LBN 1059 is ionized by two stars - 29 CMa and 30 CMa - both of which are off of this field to the lower right. The Sharpless 310 emission structure is one of the largest single HII regions in the Milky Way. The blue reflection nebula is van den Bergh 96 - also cataloged as LBN 1058 and CED 96 (parts a, b, c ). The small dark smudge in vdB 96 is a grouping of Herbig-Haro objects (all parts of HH 92). There are several dark nebulae in this field - the most visually apparent is LBN 1660 just above vdB 96. This field also contains three open star clusters - Trumpler 6, Ruprecht 17 and Milky Way Star Cluster (MWSC) 1215. These objects and some of the brighter stars are identified in the annotated image. Horizontal FOV is approximately 120 arc minutes.

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.
