DS1 (ESO 215-4) Planetary in Vela in SHO

DS 1 (ESO 215-4) is a magnitude 12.12 planetary nebula in Vela discovered by John Drilling in 1983 and quite large at 6x5 arcminutes and the OIII emission line predominates causing the blue green colour. Rarely imaged and with an embedded Mag (J) 14.574 background Galaxy 2MASX J10544233-4846198 it made quite an interesting object to image.
LSS 2018, the central star of the planetary nebulae DS1, was found to be a a double-lined spectroscopic binary central star with a period of 8.571 hours and an extremely large reflection effect.
The entire field shows a lot of IFN (Integrated Flux Nebula) but I dialed that back.

I managed 8.7 hours of good 10 minute SHO exposures over the last month under some very good conditions despite a LOT of cloud and some record breaking rain. On the plus side when it stopped raining the seeing was excellent!

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.
