Abell 33

A 12.89 magnitude planetary nebula with plenty of OIII, Abell 33 is in the constellation Hydra. This magnitude is similar to Jones-Emberson 1 which I also imaged recently, but I had much better success with it for two main reasons: 1) J-E 1 had almost 24 hrs of integration while Abell 33 is only 9.5 hrs; and 2) most of the imaging time was spent in my southeast skies which has the most intense light pollution (i.e., the shining and ever-growing LEDs heading towards downtown Orlando and Disney World). PHD2 even had trouble keeping a guide star on some nights. Both of these issues could have been avoided had I started imaging Abell 33 a couple of months ago, but things don't always work out to accommodate ideal conditions. So, I have a reason to visit this lovely object 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.
