Barnard 150 Sea Horse Nebula

Barnard 150 dark nebula in Cepheus. It has the shape of a Sea Horse, swimming in the the celestial sea. I imaged this from my clubs dark site. While driving out to the site ( while it was still light out). I was hoping a lot of the high clouds would clear. Plus it was looking a little hazy. Once the Sun set and Astronomic Dusk came the sky did look better, but still the seeing was 6/10.

I also thought the Blue and red in the upper left corner was some kind of artifact. But I realized that it is nebulosity from the neighboring object Sh 2-129.

I plan on getting more data on this object from the dark site. I really like this object.

Clear skies , Mike

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.
