LoTr5 - A faint planetary with a possible "three body problem"

LoTr5 or Longmore-Tritton 5 is a faint planetary nebula of moderate size (8.3 arcmin) in Coma Berenices. It lies at a distance of about 1650 light years. It is unusual in that it is a binary system and it has even been suggested that it is a triple system. It is also the planetary with the highest galactic latitude. There are several papers available on this nebula and it's star system (see links below), a rapidly rotating G-type star and a hot companion that is ionizing the nebula, largely in the O3, hence the teal color.

There are a number of small background galaxies in the field of view as well.

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.
