The Oiii Sprites of M24 - High Resolution Follow Up

(Oiii continuum^)

Hidden along the edges of the dark ridges of the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud, there are the remains of a very violent supernova. The Eastern component of this supernova remnant was known about for some time, however, this Western portion of the remnant was unknown until I discovered the region in some early surveys conducted in the Summer of 2022.

This image is a high resolution follow-up of the nebula with the 16" RCOS from SRO. This thing is actually surprisingly bright at f/9. I decided against doing Ha of this image because I know there is not a ton of small scale Ha structure here, especially compared to the Oiii. Ha would only serve to turn the background red which I thought may be visually distracting.

Hope you enjoy the image!

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.
