This wide-field image shows the large emission nebula Sh2-205 dominating the center, and the even brighter nebula Sh2-206 at upper left. These nebulae are located in the Perseus arm of our Milky Way Galaxy on the border of Perseus and Camelopardalis.

The large diffuse nebula Sh 2-205, also known as the Peanut nebula, is ionized by the O9 class multiple star HD 24431.
Sh2-206, also known as NGC 1491, is an older, evolved HII region ionized by the O5 star BD +50 886. It is located at a distance of about 10,700 light years.

This wide-field HSO-image is acquired with the Takahashi FSQ-106ED refractor and FLI PL16803 camera from Telescope Live in IC Astronomy Observatory, Oria, Spain.

Total integration time 600 minutes
20 sub-frames of 600s with each filter (H-alpha, SII and OIII).
Dataset Telescope Live.

Processing with PixInsight, StarXTerminator, Photoshop CC with AstroPanel Pro, Astronomy Tools, Topaz Sharpen AI and NoiseXTerminator plug-ins.

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.
