WeSb 2 is has only recently been included in the HASH database of PNs 202.189.117.101:8999/gpne/objectInfoPage.php?id=713

This is the result of the first ever narrowband image of this PN produced by Peter Goodhew in December 2020. His excellent image is here on Astrobin: https://www.astrobin.com/5m0zfi/B/

Also known as PK183+05.1.

My Abell Collection is here:

Abell Planetary Nebulae

Currently 60+, and soon to be complete.

WeSb 2 was discovered by Ronald Weinberger and Franco Sabbadin in 1981. Details are included in their 1981 paper

http://cdsads.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_query?1981A%26A...100...66W&data_type=PDF_HIGH&whole_paper=YES&type=PRINTER&filetype=.pdf

and includes details of 5 other possible PN discoveries they made.

The info about WeSb2 included in this paper are:

"No 2: half ring with a mean thickness of 15" and m = 23.4 plus a rather homogeneous, hardly visible disk with m = 24.8. The overall diameter is 135"x135". Nothing visible on blue senstive print."

They point out that it is only a half disk, and hardly visible. Peter's and my images clearly show the disk with one side much weaker than the other side, essentially a half disk if not adequately imaged. The Ha is exceptionally weak, perhaps the dimmest Ha target I have imaged. And the Oiii is vastly dimmer than the Ha. No image whatsoever of either shows up on individual subs.

This is only the second narrow band image of WeSb 2 ever published.

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.
