The Bearclaw Nebula (Sh2-200)

This picture was born from the collaboration between me and my amateur astronomer friends Lino and Paolo, putting together all the signal that we managed to collect during this year with our equipments.

Sh2-200 (also known as HDW 2 or Bearclaw Nebula) is an extremely fait planetary nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia, about 3° northeast of the large Soul Nebula.
It is a poorly studied object, which was initially cataloged as an H II region and only in 1983 its nature as a planetary nebula was recognized, in a study of some nebulae of unusual appearance. Its distance has been estimated at around 3590 light years on the outer edge of the Orion Arm.

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.
