Clouds in Cepheus Flare

A section of star forming molecular clouds in Cepheus called Cepheus Flare ~1630 ly away in Cepheus. The term 'Cepheus Flare' was coined by Hubble. The regions LDN 1147,1148,1152,1155,1157 and LBN468 form the V shaped clouds as seen in the center, along with the bluish Iris reflection nebula just below it ~1435 ly away. These regions have several Herbig–Haro objects, bright patches of nebulosity associated with new born stars.

A barred spiral galaxy NGC 6951-6952 can also be seen, ~75 mil ly away and 0.1 mil ly across.

LRGB 4h 30m (7:6:7:7x600s) integration of 9h captured (14:12:14:14x600s) from SPA-3 telescope, a Takahashi FSQ-106EDX4 with Paramount MX+ mount, FLI PL16083 camera and Astrodon LRGB 2GEN filters. Situated in IC Astronomy Observatory, Spain. Part of telescope.live telescope network. Taken on multiple dates Jun-Aug 2022.

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.
