Abell 6 to HTG-1. H, H+O, O. In Cassiopiea, a 6 pane mosaic

Both objects are really faint. Nights when there's no moon and clear are as rare as hens teeth. The panels with the objects have 5 hours total data in them the other two panels have 3 hours total. The missing two panels only have an hour in Ha atm.

Shot on many different nights from July 2016 to September 2016. Overall the image is very noisey.

A difficult subject given my light pollution at least I got HFG to show up a tad.

5 years later a single image, containing both faint planetaries, HOO. In the five years to my eyes Abell 6 has changed shape, more squashed and elongated?
Still a work in progress but easier to finish than 6 panes, hopefully! Good to look at these early attempts stuck in my staging area.

Description: Taken with my new camera with 4 hrs OIII and 5 hrs 10 minutes Ha all 300s subs. What was once a 6 pane mosaic is all in one frame. The subs are taken over 3 months from July to September, this is my other work in progress with M33, for this autumn. Would love to at least double the amount of subs for these faint planetary nebula's.

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.
