Long Focal Length Eastern Veil Mosaic

The Veil Nebula, a 5,000-10,000 year old Supernova remnant, is too large for all but the widest fields of view. Indeed, this small segment of the structure required two panels with a large format camera. Imagining the entire 3 degree structure as a naked eye object is always fun.

This is a bi-color image of Ha and OIII. One thing I like about the Veil is that it is equally strong in OIII and Ha, the OIII might be a bit stronger. And as a narrow-band bi-color image it still comes out looking something like it might in wide-band color.

The left side is comprised of 18 OIII and 16 Hawhile the right side is 13 OIII and 16 Ha. All 20 minute subs. The differences were not planned but due to the luck of decent tracking and weather.

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.
