Revision title: New process

Sh2-49/ Messier 16/NGC6611 The Eagle nebula AKA The Star Queen nebula
A well known object due to the famous image of the Hubble space telescope of the Pillars of Creation inside M16 The Eagle nebula, AKA Star Queen nebula, about 5700 lightyears away.
The nebula is a HII Region with the famous «Pillars of Creation», a star forming region
Messier 16 and NGC 6611 refers to the nebula and the open clusters of stars in the center and Sh2-49 refers to the nebula .
The night skies are getting darker and astronomical dark will occur around August 20, but still surfing the horizon while I am still in the astronomical twilight zone.
I wanted to get more data but with a little over one hour of imaging each clear night I find it more effective to go for object higher in the sky where I just now can get more than 2,5hrs of useful data.
This is the best I can do with this set of photons, hope you like the result

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.
