Ferrero 6 (Fe 6) Planetary Nebula • IPHASX J015624.9+652830 (Douglas J Struble)

Ferrero 6 (Fe 6) Planetary Nebula • IPHASX J015624.9+652830

I have been capturing Ferrero 6 for two months on my second rig. Typically here in Michigan USA, the autumn has the most amount of clear nights out of the year. Subsequently I planned on a deep space object that was very faint and challenging. Unfortunately this autumn was not typical at all with a major amount of cloudy nights and precipitation, like the rest of this past year here. Even with the amount of integration time I piled on, I really had to massage the data pretty hard. Very few have attempted to capture it, so I thought I would give it a try.

Ferrero 6 (Ferrero 6 • Fe6 • PN G129.6+03.4) Planetary Nebula was discovered as part of the IPHAS survey. It's spectroscopically was confirmed as a true planetary nebula by the professional astronomer Laurence Sabin in September 2011. It has also been independently discovered by the French amateur astronomer Laurent Ferrero in 2013. Its structure consists of a low surface brightness bubble with a size of 3.5 arcminutes, which is accentuated by a thin bright rim on the outside. It is very likely to be an ancient evolved planetary nebula that is interacting with the interstellar medium.

Description: I was emailed by Sakib Rasool to have my most recent image of Ferrero 6 added to a scientific website called Planetary Nebulae Spectra Trackers. I don't read French and the English tab doesn't seem to be working for me. Oh well.

Description: Laurent Ferrero, who originally independently discovered Ferrero 6 back in 2013 and is a French amateur astronomer, posted my latest Ferrero 6 (Fe 6) to his personal blog. I am pretty stoked about that. Here is the link:

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.
