Jones-Emberson 1 aka Headphones Nebula (HaO3(HaO3+RGB))

Hello Friends,

this time again a very iconic and often imaged object: The Headphones Nebula

Since this object is almost not visible from my location (obstruction of the house roof) it took me two years to collect the data over many nights. This caused some challenges e.g. different collimation and hence a different point spread of the stars.

The Ha and O3 Channel reveal many fine structures. It took me many attempts to find a working approach to make them visible in the final image. The clue was to generate a Lum channel from Ha and O3 and emphasize the details. There are even more, but I did not want to make it look strange so I decided not to overdo it.

Though this object is one one of the most often imaged, I publish it, since I think it should be part of everyone collection. It is a must have

I hope you will enjoy it!
Rüdiger

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.
