Abell 31 / Sh2-290

Abell 31 and also known in the Sharpless Catalogue as Sh2-290 captured and processed in HOO. This is one of the largest Planetary Nebulas so you would think it would be easy....

Wow, was this a tough target!

The first night I attempted this one after a few of my 5 minute subs came in I checked them to look at the progress and I didn't see anything. Zero. Nada. So I scraped the session and picked out a new target. Not wanting to succumb to failure, the next day I decided to have another look at the data and stacked the 4 subs that I had collected and barely saw something that resembled a faint image so I thought I would have another go that night since I had 4 clear nights in a row. Success! In all it took two nights to collect enough data to acquire this image.

Looking forward to the next Abell/Sharpless target.

Thanks, Eddie

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.
