The Lagoon Nebula - Messier 8 in the Sagittarius constellation. One of my absolute favorite objects.

Since I photographed the Trifid Nebula just above last year, I really wanted to photograph the lagoon. This year I made it early, started in May, which is actually too early...but it was a good desicion.

Honestly, the resolution that came out for the relatively short exposure time knocks me off a bit - the core has an incredible amount of details. I attach a photo of the core and its surroundings.

Description: The Background was way to dark, i calibrate the Background new, so it looks like more Natural to me. Its still to dark, but 1,5 Hours of RGB are dont give more options on Bortle 4 i think.

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.
