Barnard's E Nebula and hidden gems amongst the background diamonds (Mouse over to reveal)

This was my first attempt at shooting Barnard's "E", or "Barnard's E" Nebula, which is a pair of dark nebulae in the Aquila constellation. It is a well-defined dark area situated with a background of Milky Way consisting of countless stars of all magnitudes, and get's it''s name from its resemblance to the letter E.

I chose this composition delibertly as I was curious to see if I could capture some nearby planetary nebula I've never previously imaged in the frame as well, so I positioned the E nebula off to the far left of the frame to leave room for the other nebula's I was hoping would also be revealed in the shot. I also decided to shoot this using the Askar D1 Colour Magic dualband filter (Ha & Oiii) as again a way of hopefully better revealing the planetary nebulas as they often reveal well in those bands.

I have to say I was very pleased with how even at this scale, PK047-04.1 and especially NGC6804, revealed some of their structural secrets! (See mouse over with pop outs of the planetary')

I''ll definitely be adding both of these to my future target list to image at a greater FL/scale!

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.
