LoTr5

Longmire-Tritton 5 is a large, faint Planetary Nebula in the Constellation Coma Berenices with a distance of approximately 1,650 light years. LoTr5 has the highest Galactic Latitude of any known Planetary Nebula being only 1.5 degrees away from the Galactic North Pole.

LoTr5 was discovered in 1980 by A. J. Longmore and S. B. Tritton, who found the nebula on photographic plates taken at the UK Schmidt Telescope. The General Catalogue of Variable Stars describes it as R:/PN, meaning it is likely a close Binary Star System with reflection of starlight being the cause of variation, as well as being part of the nucleus of a Planetary Nebula.

Acquisition Notes:

Captured in O3/RGB on a clear Crescent Moon night.

Glad to see it warming up a bit and the skies parting for some nighttime AP. This one was extremely faint as I upped the acquisition time to 500 seconds per sub to pull in the data. I had to trust the data while the subs were coming in and after they were stacked and stretched, the nebula appeared. I was able to resolve some interior structure within the nebula using the O3 filter. I attempted to gather some H-alpha to add to the nebula but as far as I could tell there was none to be found so I just stayed with O3 and RGB for the stars.

Thanks, Eddie

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.
