Barnard 175 and vdB 152 (LBN 531)

vdB 152 ( LBN 531) is the bright reflection bit at the tip of the dark Bok globule and pillar of dust that's designated as Barnard 175. Embedded in the lower edge just below the reflection part is Herbig Haro object HH 450, a jet emitting from a newly forming star. I was able to capture it but it's faint and very poorly defined. The filamentary Ha in the image is from supernova remnant SNR 110.3 + 11.3 and the small bit of Ha on the lower left edge is from DeHT-5, an old planetary nebula just off frame.

This target was a bit of a last minute addition to my target list for this last new moon. I noticed it was a good fit for my framing and it was a broadband target perfect for a dark site location so I just added it. I didn't look up any photos of it prior to imaging and really had no idea if it would be a difficult target or not so it's been a pleasant surprise how well it turned out for the relatively short integration time. The Ha signal especially was a nice surprise! Since I hadn't looked up any images of the target prior I also had no idea if there would be any Ha in that area or not but I the moon rose about 45 min before astronomical dawn which gave me the perfect window to shoot some. Upon seeing the masters after stacking the next day I did want to spend at least one more night collecting more luminance and Ha data but clouds rolled in and stayed for the next 5 days so unfortunately it didn't happen. Perhaps I can find the time next new moon to add more data.

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.
