APOD nicknamed this supernova remnant the Medulla Nebula for its brain-like shape,
I just can't unsee the burst balloon here, so I titled it the Popped Balloon Nebula like others here on Astrobin.

The final project with my beloved ASI 1600MM camera and it's a big one. This is one of those projects I couldn't finish last year, I simply did not have enough data for a satisfactory project and for what I had envisioned when I started it. Fortunately we had around 10 good nights between October and November of this year to capture lots of data.

If you're interested have a look at my website for the starless image.

Now I'm looking forward to image with Sonys (not so) new CMOS Sensor which seems like a perfect match with my Celestron RASA 11", promising first light and lots of fun projects to come in 2022.

Happy new year everyone!

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.
