Jones 1 is a small planetary nebula in constellation Pegasus, discovered in 1941 by the astronomer Rebecca Jones. Later on, it acquired the designation of PK 104-29.1 when two Czechoslovak astronomers, Luboš Perek and Luboš Kohoutek, compiled a catalog of all the planetary nebulae of the Milky Way known at the time (1967).

At magnitude 15, it is a quite faint nebula, notably brighter at Oiii than in Ha wavelenghts. It has the round shape and an Ha structure nearby (here seen below it as a red smudge) which I couldn't confirm whether it is related or not. The progenitor star is AG82 454, the blue star right in the middle of the nebula - this was a Sun like star whose outer layers where shedded in outer space, leaving now the remain of its core.

All in all it was an interesting project, which would benefit of some more additionall hours to better reveal the structure of it. As the weather is now worsening, maybe some next year.

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.
