This image is made up of two panels, since with the FOV provided by the TEC180 using the SBIG STXL16200 camera we could not frame NGC 2024 and B33 in the same image, and despite the fact that Alnitak is quite complicated to control, the result has exceeded my expectations, as I was expecting some problems when joining the panels and I have to admit that everything went very well.

IC 434 also includes the Flame Nebula, here cut off, the Horsehead is cataloged in Barnard's catalog as B33. The Horse's Head is a dark nebula made up mostly of dusty dust, visible in contrast to the emission nebula just behind it. I think I'm not wrong when I say that it is one of the most iconic images of astrophotography, it is located in the constellation of Orion, specifically in the belt.

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.
