PaGo 1 - New Discovery in Corona Borealis

A joint discovery with expert galactic prospector Dana Patchick. This is the first ever image taken. It is believed to be a possible planetary nebula, but getting confirmation of this via spectroscopy is going to be challenging as it is so faint. Capturing this required almost 60 hours of data shot at bin 4x4. Processing was problematic in terms of separating the nebula from faint gradients. Luckily my two scopes are oriented 180 degrees from each other to avoid the cameras colliding during autofocus. This made it possible to detect the gradients by processing the data from each scope separately and then comparing the two images. Background subtraction was used to stretch the faint signal before re-adding the background.

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.
