The Butterfly Nebula - NGC 6302

It is a bipolar planetary nebula, with two apparent lobes, located in the constellation Scorpius.
I did two different processings, the main image was processed to highlight the nebulosities around it. The top left image, I made a unique processing for the small planetary nebula. I was very happy to be able to get the full curvature with the larger lobe detail.

É uma nebulosa planetária bipolar, com dois lobos aparentes, localizada na constelação do escorpião.
Fiz dois processamentos diferentes, a imagem principal foi realizado um processamento para evidenciar a nebulosidades ao seu redor. A imagem superior esquerda, fiz um processamento exclusivo para a pequena nebulosa planetária. Fiquei ,muito contente por conseguir pegar a curvatura completa com detalhe do lobo maior.

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.
