Alright this was SUCH an incredible surprise! This is the open cluster M29, rarely imaged and sooo underrated. I did not do my research before imaging this object and decided to spend an hour on it at random before packing up. I did not see any nebulosity on the single shot, so I was completely blown away when stacking the data and stretching the image for the first time! Now, I wish I spent way more time on this target and will probably revisit it at some point in the future!

The QHY128C camera picked up so much of that Hydrogen Alpha even without any Ha filter and doing 30 second exposures only! I am also glad I used the reflector here, look at all these wonderful diffraction spikes 😍

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.
