Delta Lyrae cluster

This widefield image shows the star field around the Delta Lyrae cluster, a sparse open cluster of stars located about 1,220 light years away in the northern constellation of Lyra. This cluster is centered on the member star Delta2 Lyrae for which it is named.

Delta Lyrae is an optical double star. The brighter and closer of the two, Delta2 Lyrae, is a 4th-magnitude red bright giant approximately 900 light years away from Earth. The fainter blue star Delta1 Lyrae is a spectroscopic binary consisting of a B-type primary and an unknown secondary.

This 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 480 minutes
LRGB: 12 sub-frames of 600s with each filter.
Dataset Telescope Live.

Processing with AstroPixelProcessor, Photoshop CC with AstroPanel Pro, Astronomy Tools 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.
