The Eagle

The majestic eagle spreads his wings over the pillars of creation. In this wider field of this famous nebula in Serpens, at 5700 ly distance from Earth, the shape of the flying Eagle is what dominates the picture. It always gives me the impression that he is guarding the precious pillars of creation from any cosmic intruder.

I wanted to image this region for a long time, but it is impossible from my backyard. It is very low in the sky, between 15-33° and the view is blocked by the trees. So, during my vacation in the mountains I thought of bringing the gear with me and take a shot. The sky was really exceptional, it is listed as Bortle 4, but is probably 2-3, you can nicely see the Milky Way. Unfortunately, I had only 1 night of clear skies and I was barely able to gather less than 3h of Ha... This hobby is really frustrating. The only solution of completing the project before next year was to take the gear near the city, where I had a free view of the South. The nebula is really low in the sky, in full orange glow above Toulouse and I could gather 1h of S2 and O3. This is the best I could come up with, hopefully I'll be able to add data next year.

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.
