Abell 84

A 13th magnitude planetary nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia, Abell 84 (ARO115) is roughly 2.5 x 1.9 arcminutes in size. While not as small or and faint as Abell 79 which I recently posted, it is still a faint object that has rarely been imaged. The OIII in the center of the object is particularly faint and probably deserves more hours to really bring it out. This version that I have produced reminds a bit of M27, the Dumbbell Nebula. There are only a handful of images of this small but beautiful PN on Astrobin, or on any other site that I could find. And many seem to vary greatly in appearance. I suspect a part of this is due to the faintness of the object and the many varied integration times, more so than simply different NB palettes and NB vs. BB images.

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.
