PN G100.4+04.6 (RGB)

Hello Friends,

again one of my (stupid?) ideas to challenge myself: PM1-333 / PN G100.4+04.6 - a very small PN in Cepheus.
An incredible small object where also only very few images do exist. I have measured a diagonal size of approx. 90 arcsec and a brightness of mag 16 in the brightest areas.
After viewing the NB data, I decided to go with RGB only. Since the image is heavily cropped, the stars look like blobs.

I have added a minimal cropped RGB version just to illustrate how tiny this PN actually is.

The data was collected over several nights in August and September last year.

Please allow me a short disclaimer:
Definitely not a pretty picture, but maybe interesting and different. I try to show also some unusual and challenging objects, very well aware that these images will not be as nice. But I have also a lot of fun with them.

Please enjoy!
Ruediger

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.
