Abell 79 is a bright unusual planetary nebula in Lacerta. It is small (59 arc seconds) but with an assymetrical morphology which results in it being named "The 6 Nebula".
The Ha signal is much stronger than OIII, and has a more intricate structure. Some estimates put it at a distance of 11,360 light years whereas other estimates are 5,900 light years.
It was discovered initially by Rudolf Minkowski in 1947, although he didn't realise that it was a planetary nebula. Subsequently George Abell classified it as a planetary nebula in his catalog published in 1955.
Superresolution techniques (also known as drizzle) were used to capture the maximum detail in this small object.

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.
Dismissals 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.
