Laguna y Trífida - Lagoon and Trifid

Esta es, sin duda, una de las imágenes más difíciles de capturar para mí. Por mi latitud, estos objetos aparecen muy, muy bajos en el cielo. Tanto que apenas tengo una hora al día para poder sacarlos, de ahí que esté especialmente contento del resultado. Tocará meterle más horas en el futuro, pero con lo que tengo, y en mi Bortle 6-7, me doy por satisfecho.

He necesitado 20 días de sesión para poder capturar las 23,4 horas que la componen, así que podéis imaginar lo que ha costado. Laguna es, en mi opinión, uno de los objetos más hermosos del cielo. Tenía muchas ganas de poder hacerla.

Este encuadre incluye además a Trífida, una nebulosa que no es habitual ver en paleta SHO.

This is, without a doubt, one of the most difficult images for me to capture. Because of my latitude, these objects appear very, very low in the sky. So much so that I barely have an hour a day to take them, so I am particularly happy with the result. I will have to put in more hours in the future, but with what I have, and on my Bortle 6-7, I am satisfied.

It took me 20 days of shooting to be able to capture the 23.4 hours that make it up, so you can imagine what it took. Lagoon is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful objects in the sky. I was really looking forward to doing it.

This FOV also includes Trifid, a nebula that is not usually seen in SHO palette.

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.
