StDr 56 / Goblet of Fire nebula (c) Robert Pölzl & Marcel Drechsler & Xavier Srottner

This probable new planetary nebula was discovered by my colleague Xavier Strottner and me in January 2020.

If the candidate is confirmed as a true planetary nebula, it will be the first planetary nebula ever discovered in the constellation Triangulum (Triangle).

Photo: StDr56 was photographed by the Austrian Robert Pölzl with a total exposure of 59 hours.

Image processing: Marcel Drechsler

At the centre of the PN candidate is a potential white dwarf with a surface temperature of 35542 Kelvin and a distance of about 1130 light years to Earth. With an extension of 44 x 36 arc minutes, StDr56 is not only the largest probable PN in the region, but in the night sky it covers more than half of the area of the famous Triangulum Galaxy M33, which is located only a few degrees from Strottner-Drechsler 56.

Robert Pölzl collected 90 hours of exposure time in 21 nights from July to November 2020.

Out of these 90 hours, 30 hours had to be sorted out because of minimal cirrus and dew - leaving 59 hours at the end.

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.
