NGC 6779 or M56, I wanted to have the image of this globular cluster since it is also one of the so called Sausage Globular Clusters. However this one is far out of of my reach, using my backyard scope, it is in the northern hemisphere, and from my latitude... no way. I could go up to +20, perhaps +22 on a lucky day...

So in order to get the image I had to go to my favourite remote system, Insight Observatory at NM, using their Astrograph, the Dreamscope 16" f/3.7 Astrograph Reflector, the camera FLI Proline 16803, and Baader LRGB filters, as 20/10/10/10 exposures of 120" each.

As with the rest of this particular family of GC's, the centre is possible to stretch with some detail.

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.
