IC 417 -Spyder Nebula in SHO from south of Spain

We pointed our telescope toward to Auriga to image a fairly low Nebula. February weather did unfortunately not allow us to get all the poses we were hoping and pretty average quality. The OIII signal is very weak on this Nebula, and the SII signal merges with the Ha signal.

Not very satisfied by the result but we are not able to do better…. ☹

IC417(also known as Sh2-234) is identified in the southern central part of the constellation cocher, in a rich region of stars and nebulae.

It’s located almost 100 light-years across, located some 10,000 light-years away from. It is often referred to as the Spider Nebula .

IC 417 is an emission nebula that is energized by embedded hot and a massive blue stars young cluster.

This cluster of about 80 stars are still embedded in glowing hydrogen gas. The bluish clouds of gas at the center of the image are locations of new star formation.

The two oppositely directed streams of material, in each side of the bowl structure indicate a very young star hidden in the thick soup, still madly gathering material around itself while its strong magnetic field ejected some of that stuff out at high velocity.

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.
