This is the Tarantula Nebula (NGC 2070) and part of the Large Magellanic Cloud. This stack of 50 x30 second captures was taken from Iluka, Western Australia on 28 January 2022. The ASI 183 was paired with the Redcat 51 - unity gain and 5'C.

The original image had an excessive green cast around the nebula - more than I think truly reflects its true likeness due to Oxygen. This was preventing me from stretching the image to pull more nebulosity. Carlos Taylor helped me to resolve this and I think the revised version now properly shows this region of the sky in its true beauty.

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.
