A rarely-imaged faint Planetary Nebula (PNe) hiding within Lynds Bright Nebula 381 (LBN 381) in Cygnus, first noted by Ronald Weinberger in 1977. This PNe was brought to my attention by Barry Wilson in his recent excellent image of LBN 381.

A planetary nebula forms when a star can no longer support itself by fusion reactions in its centre. The gravity from the material in the outer part of the star takes its inevitable toll on the structure of the star, and forces the inner parts to condense and heat up. The high temperature central regions drive the outer half of the star away in a brisk stellar wind, lasting a few thousand years. This ejection has resulted in this bubble-like structure. When the process is complete, the remaining core remnant is uncovered and heats the now distant gases and causes them to glow.

This is a highly evolved and thus extremely faint PNe with very low surface brightness of between 22.1 and 25.8 mag/sq-arcsec. Over time this will become so faint that it will completely disappear. This image shows the existence of an outer OIII shell that according to Ronald Weinberger hasn't been captured before.

Image captured jointly by myself and Alistair Macpherson at sites in Shropshire, England and Alcalali, Spain. Because of the faintness of this target we chose to go deep, capturing a total of 46 hours 30 minutes of data, with 34 hours at bin 2x2.

46 hours 30 minutes in total.

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.
