Rare Sh2-207 & Sh2-208 in HaRGB

With these winter months in Michigan comes with little nights of clear skies in capturing data of rare objects that require a lot of integration time. Not only patience is in order, but a lot of hope.

Sh2-207 is the larger of the two sharpness objects and the smaller SH2-208 is just to the right. It also has some interesting structure in that it almost resembles a tiny Rossette Nebula. The nearby Sh2-208 to the right it is close enough that even a longer focal length telescope can pick both up in the same field of view as seen here with my 152mm APO. Sh2-207 responds well to the Ha filter, but not so much with OIII and SII. A wider field of view will also pick up some nice nebula in the area more so to the right of SH2-208. This area is quite dim so long exposure time works best, which I tried my best given these horrible winter months here in Michigan.

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.
