NGC5689 in Sagittarius

This is a nebular complex in Sagittarius made up by emission, reflection and dark nebulae. Actually the two blue reflection nebulae are NGC 5689 and NGC5690 one of the dark nebulae is IC1283 and IC1284 is part of the emission nebula.

This nebulae complex is located south of M24 and is distant from us 5900 light years.

Pre-Processing and Pos-Processing in Pixinsight

==================================================================

Reprocssing Information:

This reprocessing targeted not only to give a better view to the reflection nebulae that spread out over the field, but also to show other layer of thin nebulae present before the black of the sky.

In addition, some cosmetic fixes have been also introduced as well as a new image's framing and a new cropping.

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.
