NGC 1514

A beautiful planetary nebula located in the constellation Taurus, NGC1514 was discovered by William Herschel in 1790. It originated from a binary star system with the designation HD 281679 and has been described as a double-shell nebula that is described as, "a bright roundish amorphous PN" with a radius of around 65"and a faint halo that has a radius of 90″ (Aryal, B.; et al. ,February 2010, "A giant dusty bipolar structure around the planetary nebula NGC 1514", Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 402 (2): 1307–1312).

I really wanted to have captured many more hours to tease the shells apart in more detail, but weather is getting bad again and it appears it will be that way for the next couple of weeks. I was not even able to get RGB stars.

However, I got enough detail to enjoy what I grabbed this go around.

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.
