Widefield Iris and Ghost Nebula in dusty Cepheus. A wide field image of the Iris Nebula (NGC7023) and the Ghost Nebula (SH2-136, VdB-141) in dusty Cepheus. The image is made up of data acquired with 6 scope/camera systems over 9 years... most recently 7.5hrs lum and 20 mins each RGB on my Esprit100/SX46, 3hrs each RGB GT71/ASI1600 in September2020 which together gave the wide field framework, 3hrs hrs of Ghost lum and 1hr each RGB taken in August 2019 on the TEC140 Atik460 and TEC140 Moravian8300 at Olly's @ollypenrice Les Granges observatory, 4hrs Lum and 3 hrs each RGB on the Iris taken in 2018 with my Esprit150/ASI1600 and 12 hrs lum on the Ghost taken by Olly in 2011 (scope/camera combo unknown).

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.
