[TEAM OMICRON] Beyond Jones-Emberson 1 (PK 164+31.1) - Pure LRGB (no IR cut)

Hello everybody,

the omicron team is very proud to present you an exceptional image of Jones-Emberson 1. Also known as the Headphone Nebula, it is a 14th magnitude planetary nebula in the constellation Lynx at a distance of 1600 light years. It is a larger planetary with low surface brightness. The 16.8-magnitude central star is a very blue white dwarf.

The object was started by Serge Brunier with 9 hours of RGB last month. Then with David Vernet we wanted to go further with luminance.We were lucky to have 3 nights with an exceptional seeing. The FWHM on the images taken without filter was between 0.85" and 1.2".

The image is special because we did not use any IR cut filter. We therefore see the universe through the nebula thanks to the infrared. As the Ha filter wasn't mounted, we did 7 hours of additional Red layer under good seeing for the extensions. I merged them into the luminance and color.

The image shows objects close to magnitude 26.

We are in awe of this object. Like an eye open to the deep universe.

Final version is a 4K crop. Please have a look at the 8K full frame here. There are thousands of galaxies :

Enjoy it my friends.

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.
