80hrs on Andromeda (RGBHSO)

Little bit of a labor of love.

Really wanted to go very deep with narrowband filters on Andromeda to see all the nebulae, supernova remnants, and other gases.

This is a Red Channel enhanced with Hydrogen data, Green Channel enhanced with SII data, and Blue Channel enhanced with OIII data composite.

During processing I found a figure 8 in the OIII data and took a lot of effort but narrowed it down to a supernova remnant, SNR BW-59. You can just see it in the DSS B band and GALEX. It is at the coordinates (00 44 18.6, +41 18 53). I started a discussion of it on CloudyNights https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/887589-oiii-figure-8-in-andromeda-galaxy/#entry12878965

I really love all the different nebula region throughout though. Some remind me of objects in our own Milky Way.

I did an annotated version highlighting all the globular clusters and supernova remnants. It is definitely worth browsing the full resolution image of the annotated version!

thin spindle nebula

Various other remnants:

A large nebula that would put our Orion Nebula to shame

I also annotated all the Globular Clusters and Supernova Remnants, be sure to zoom in on this one!!

Lastly I did a composite showing all the different channels

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.
