SH2-188

Cette nébuleuse planétaire a été désignée de diverses façons (nébuleuse de la crevette, du dauphin, de la queue de renard...) et qui est cataloguée SH2-188, Simeis 22, PK 128-04.1 ou encore LBN633. C'est un objet petit (10'x3') située dans la constellation de Cassiopée, difficile à voir avec un télescope et pas très facile à photographier et à traiter. Il a été découverte en 1951, et photographiée pour la première fois en 1965. Considérée d'abord comme les restes d'une supernova, c'est en fait une nébuleuse planétaire assez jeune (environ 22000 ans). Cette image a été produite en combinant une image en RGB et une en SHO sur lesquelles une luminance obtenue à partir de la couche Ha a été appliquée.

This planetary nebula has been designated in various ways (shrimp nebula, dolphin nebula, firefox nebula...) and is catalogued as SH2-188, Simeis 22, PK 128-04.1, or LBN633. It is a small object (10'x3') located in the constellation of Cassiopeia, difficult to observe with a telescope and not very easy to photograph and process. It was discovered in 1951 and first photographed in 1965. Initially thought to be the remnants of a supernova, it is actually a relatively young planetary nebula (approximately 22,000 years old). This image was produced by combining an RGB image with an SHO image, onto which a luminance obtained from the Ha layer was added.

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.
