Flaming Star Nebula - Mosaic

In the constellation Auriga, you can find the impressive Flaming Star Nebula, also known as IC 405 (C31 / SH2-229 / LBN 795). It is a nebula that exhibits both emission and reflection (VdB 34) characteristics. This nebula is caused by the presence of the massive blue giant star of spectral type O, AE Aurigae. Besides creating a significant reflection zone around it, as it can be seen in the image, this star ionizes a vast region with its electromagnetic radiation, primarily emitting in Ha, with an apparent magnitude of 6.To capture this image, the equipment used is a TS Hypergraph 8" f3.2 telescope, a ZWO ASI 294MM Pro camera, and Antlia V Pro 3nm (SHO) filters. The mount used was a Skywatcher Eq6-r-Pro, along with an OAG+QHY5L-M. The software utilized for this project included Sequence Generator Pro, PHD2, Pixinsight, and Adobe Photoshop.The image itself is a composition with a binning factor of 1, in a mosaic of 2 panels, each comprising SHO data acquired in 2 sets of (3x30x300s) exposures, resulting in a total exposure time of 15 hours.

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.
