Messier 16 (The Eagle Nebula)

Not my favourite work (despite it being my third DSO ever), I thought it would look better considering the amount of capture time, but I think it turned out OK all things considered.Target: M16 Nebula, or the Eagle Nebula, is a captivating interstellar cloud located about 7,000 light-years away in the constellation Serpens ("The Snake"). This incredible emission nebula is famous for its "Pillars of Creation," which are massive columns of gas and dust where new stars are being born. Emission nebulas like M16 glow with vibrant colours due to the energetic radiation from young, hot stars within them. M16 Nebula offers a stunning view into the ongoing cycle of star formation, showcasing the beauty and complexity of our universe. IG: https://www.instagram.com/deepskyjourney/

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.
