IC405 (also known as Star Flaming Nebula, Sh2-229, or Caldwell 31) is an emission and reflection nebula in the Constellation Auriga, about 1690 light-years (500pc) far away from the Solar System.
The Nebula is composed of gas (mostly Hydrogen and Sulphur, and less Oxygen) ionized by the variable star AE Aurigae, whose blue light is reflected by the dust surrounding the star in the heart of IC405.
AE Aurigae is a runaway star; it was born in the Orion Nebula about 2.7 million years ago and might have been ejected during a collision between two binary star groups. It’s about 1300 l.y. from us.The picture took several nights, because of weather and light pollution, which reduces the slice of sky photographable from my home garden.Both Hubble and Bicolor palettes were processed and are presented in this post.

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.
