NGC 1514 and its dusty surroundings (LHOO)

NGC 1514 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Taurus near the border with Perseus. In November, I imaged this object with my C11 EdgeHD in HOO narrowband in order to resolve as much detail as possible. I also shot a few hours of luminance with the Esprit 100ED refractor in order to capture some dust in the background to add into the C11 image. It did not add much to the final image due to the small field of view of the C11. This image is a dusty widefield version with the refractor data only.

The luminance channel is pure luminance without any narrowband data. The color channels are constructed from HOO data. NGC 1514 sticks out like a sore thumb in this field because most of the stars and background galaxies have a ruddy tint. There are some cool background galaxies shining through the dust near the lower border of the image.

I applied minimal processing to this image, with modest noise reduction and just a little bit of star size reduction.

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.
