IC 1318 in Cygni Showing B347, a Filamentary Dark Nebula

This imagen has been captured during the 6th Brazilian Meeting of Astrophotography in Alto Paraiso de Goias - Brazil. I think only in this site is possible to image these typical northern hemisphere objects in altitudes as low as 3 degrees.

This is a composite in Ha-RGB of the beautiful region of the Cygni around Sadr star. IC1318 is a complex nebular basically formed by Hydrogen alpha. The image presented shows what is known as IC1318B and IC1318C portions of the IC1318 complex.

The emission nebula is cut by several patches of filamentary dark nebulae, among them B347, which is best seen with the image in full resolution .

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.
