Messier 20 Trifid Nebula

US :
The twentieth object in the Messier catalog (M20) is a diffuse nebula located in the constellation Sagittarius in the immediate vicinity of the central bulge of the Galaxy. Quite well known as an emission nebula crossed by a dark digitated nebula which gives it its characteristic appearance, its external regions also constitute a reflection nebula of which a relatively bright blue star, to the north, reveals the presence by a vast diffuse halo of the same hue centered on this star. A triple star system occupies the center of the nebula's emissive region, similar to the Trapezoid of the Orion Nebula.
8h15 of exposures (99x300s) from 6/23 to 6/25/2023.
Omegon Vtec 571MC camera, C9 edge + 0.7 reducer, Altaïr Quad-Band filter, 10micron GM1000HPS mount without autoguiding.

France:
Le vingtième objet du catalogue Messier (M20) est une nébuleuse diffuse située dans la constellation du Sagittaire au voisinage immédiat du bulbe central de la Galaxie. Assez connue comme une nébuleuse en émission traversée par une nébuleuse obscure digitée qui lui donne son aspect caractéristique, ses régions externes constituent en outre une nébuleuse par réflexion dont une étoile bleue relativement brillante, au nord, révèle la présence par un vaste halo diffus de même teinte centré sur cette étoile. Un système triple d'étoiles occupe le centre de la région émissive de la nébuleuse, à la manière du Trapèze de la nébuleuse d'Orion.
8h15 de poses (99x300s) du 23/6 au 25/6/2023.
Caméra Omegon Vtec 571MC, C9 edge + réducteur 0.7, filtre Altaïr Quad-Band, monture 10micron GM1000HPS sans autoguidage.

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.
