NGC188 L-Pro Bortle 8

NGC188 is one of the oldest open clusters in our galaxy and one of the few deep sky objects near Ursa Minor. Being far from the centre and the galactic plane, the gravitational influence of the Milky Way does not tend to scatter the more than one hundred stars that compose it. It is estimated to be more than 6 billion years old. It is less than 5 degrees from the pole star and is visible in all seasons from the northern hemisphere.

NGC188 es uno de los cúmulos abiertos más antiguos de nuestra galaxia y uno de los pocos objetos de cielo profundo cerca de la Osa Menor. Al encontrarse lejos del centro y del plano galáctico la influencia gravitatoria de la Vía Láctea no tiende a dispersar las más de cien estrellas que lo componen. Se calcula que tiene una edad mayor de 6000 millones años. Se encuentra a menos de 5 grados de la estrella polar y es visible en cualquier época del año desde el hemisferio norte.

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.
