NEW DISCOVERY: Strottner-Drechsler 141 - a planetary nebula in Cassiopeia.

This discovery shows how important and wonderful an international and friendly cooperation can be.

Strottner-Drechsler 141 is the remains of a dying star that at the end of its life slams its outer gas shells into space.
This filigree bubble was produced from turquoise ionized oxygen gas (OIII) and red ionised hydrogen gas (H-alpha).
The gas is stimulated by the UV radiation of the compact core of the former star to shine.

StDr 141 was discovered in December 2021 by my very good friends Xavier Strottner from France and Marcel Drechsler from Germany. Within days I had trained my robotic telescopes in Spain on to the target and photographed it for over 40 hours of exposure. This was followed by spectroscopic observation at an observatory near Mont Ventoux (France) and analysis by Pascal Le Dû, Lionel Mulato, Laurent Bernasconi and Tom Petit. In record time, the PN candidate was classified as a true planetary nebula by Quentin Parker of the University of Hong Kong and added to the HASH database of Galactic PN.
It took only 3 weeks from the initial discovery to formal confirmation and registration.
The team invited me to come up with a name for Strottner-Drechsler 141 so I chose "The Wine Glass Nebula", because the shape of the planetary nebula is indeed reminiscent of the shape of a wine glass filled with red wine.

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.
