Abell 30 / PK 208+33.1

Revision title: Cropped

I started this project back in February and finally got enough data were I felt I would do ok with it. Abell 30 is a faint planetary nebula at only 13th magnitude and only 2.1 arcmin in size so you need to get alot of data to pull in the detail of the core. While I'm sure more data would help I'm quite pleased with this rendition. I plan on processing a Cropped version to see if I can pull in more detail out of the core and maybe bring in more Ha which is more of the outer halo. The OII channel is where I see most of the detail within the nebula itself.

I collected all data with my ALP-T filter and separated the channels for use as a luminance for the detail as well as color. Added just a tad of the Ha channel to bring out the detail around the very outer shell of the nebula. All in all I'm pleased to share this with you.

As a side note I was pleasantly surprised at how many galaxies were actually in the is image! You may want to check it out in full resolution.

Thanks for looking!

Title: Cropped

Description: Same data processed slightly different and added a tad bit more Ha for color. I do believe however that this variation does have more detail than the wide field above.

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.
