Pazmino's Cluster

Link: https://thecosmicarena.net/blog/pazminos-cluster

Sitting right next to the Soul Nebula, Sh2-202 is a hydrogen rich region spanning for about 2-3 degrees. It does not have much structure with the exception of some dark filamentary nebula near the center. The whole area seems to enclose Stock 23, a cluster also known as Pazmino's cluster - there is some debate on whether this is a real cluster or simply an asterism. Nevertheless, its luminosity do create a blue haze which creates a nice contrast with the reddish hydrogen.

This is a quite elusive object for me. Tried to capture it two year ago but without any sucess. Last year started capturing Ha and this year some RGB: I was hoping to see something in the RGB image but no luck with that. This is a really faint object and way too difficult to capture from my Bortle 8 sky. The solution was to construct the image based on Ha and blend is as best as possible with the RGB background and stars.

I must confess I feel a bit disappointed with the result but sometimes we just need to call it a day and move forward. Maybe I'll try again some year in the future, with a better sky.

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.
