IC-2169 A Blue Reflection Nebula and Barnard 37 a Dark Nebula

IC 2169, A Blue Reflection Nebula These objects (IC2169, Barnard 37 (dark nebula on right), IC447, IC 446 (blue areas at the end of the dust lane), LDN 1606, LDN1607, NGC 2247, NGC 2245, vDB 76, 78, and 79) get limited attention because they are right between two major astronomy showpieces: The Fox Fur, Christmas Tree, and Cone Nebula area and the Rosette Nebula. IC-2169 is approximately 1500 light-years away.

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.
