Pickering's Triangle is a smaller and fainter portion of the Cygnus Loop/Veil Nebula Supernova remnant. It is a triangular region of shimmering filaments and sheets that gracefully intertwine.

This image was taken on my Williams Optics 132mm f/7 FLT APO telescope platform, which uses a ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro camera and is supported by an IOptron CEM60 Mount.

Twelve hours of narrowband data were collected over four nights ending on September 2nd.

The image was processed by using a Synthetic computed Luminance image and extensive use of starless processing workflows. The final image is rendered using the Hubble SHO palette.

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.
