While mostly ignored comapared it's more famous counterparts in Ophiuchus and Scorpius, LDN 183 became one of the targets for me when on one of my friends(deepsky_wonders on instagram) created his stunning image. While the main nebula is a relatively easy target, the dust around it took some time to bring out.Also, this was the first time I was dual rigging on a single target, with most of the data being captured on my stock Z5 and Askar ACL200, riding on the trusty Fornax Lighttrack ii. The result though, in it's raw form was not as good as I'd have expected under dark skies of Spiti, took and turned out to be one of the images I'm super proud of.

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.
