M16, Eagle nebula

[left=kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q]from our Bortle 5 backyard: M16, aka Eagle nebula capturedIt is one of the most amazing sights you can see in a large telescope. It’s the location of several famous structures, including the stunning Pillars of creation, a star-forming region, depicted in the image below. The Eagle Nebula contains not only the Pillars of Creation but several other star-forming regions as well. It also has many emission nebulae, or clouds in space that shine with their own light. And it has some dark nebulae. These are space clouds that don’t shine themselves, but that can be seen because they obscure light from shining objects located behind them. The Eagle Nebula lies in the direction of the constellation Serpens the Serpent. It’s about 7,000 light-years away, and it’s visible in the sky on late June, July, August and September evenings.[/left][left=cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q]Equipment used: Celestron Nexstar Evo 8" SCT, L enhance filter, ZWO 294MC Pro main camera and 120mm guidecam, ASI Air Plus, 0.63x FR, HEQ5 Pro mount, and all powered by two Jackery units..[/left][left=cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q]10 x 300sec light subs22 x 180sec light subs[/left][left=cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q]Stacked and Processed in Pixinsight, with 30 darks and 30 flats for each set, and touched up in Paintshop pro for the final image[/left]

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.
