RGB : 20 x 180 Each Channel
Total: 3 hours
Mesmo visível a olho nu, devido a sua magnitude aparente de +3.8, esse belo aglomerado aberto, Localizado na constelação de Carina, é melhor observado e apreciado, quando observado ou fotografado por telescópios de abertura moderada.
A sua aparência, lembra muito o aglomerado aberto M44, por isso muitos astrônomos se referem a ele como Southern Beehive.
Foi descoberto em 1751, pelo astrônomo Francês Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, usando um telescópio refrator de 50 cm de abertura. Apesar de ser um equipamento pequeno para os padrões atuais, esse telescópio permitiu a Nicolas, catalogar muitos objetos desconhecidos.
NGC 2516 é um dos 20 aglomerados abertos mais brilhantes do nosso céu.
Está a aproximadamente 1217 anos-luz de distância.Esse jovem e brilhante aglomerado, possui cerca de 100 estrelas, a mais brilhante é uma gigante vermelha de magnitude +5.

Even visible to the naked eye, due to its apparent magnitude of +3.8, this beautiful open cluster, Located in the constellation of Carina, it is best observed and appreciated when observed or photographed through telescopes with moderate aperture.
Its appearance closely resembles the open cluster M44, which is why many astronomers refer to it as the Southern Beehive.
It was discovered in 1751 by the French astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille using a refracting telescope with a 50 cm aperture. Despite being a small piece of equipment by today's standards, this telescope allowed Nicolas to catalog many unknown objects.
NGC 2516 is one of the 20 brightest open clusters in our sky.It is approximately 1217 light years away.
This bright young cluster contains about 100 stars, the brightest being a +5 magnitude red giant.

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.
