Another dream come true with my first big deep space mosaic. What I bring you today is a photograph composed of 3x3 photos that merge to form one of the most impressive objects that can be captured.

Located in the Cygnus constellation, the Veil Nebula is a supernova remnant or, put another way, an explosion of a star that occurred more than 12,000 years ago. The focus contains the remains of the hot and ionized gas resulting from said explosion.

It is a giant nebula that is divided into three zones, the eastern veil (Caldwell 34) which is located near the star 52 Cygni and is known as a witch's broom, the western veil (Caldwell 33), and the impressive triangle of Pickering Wisp.

In high resolution there are parts that look like glowing filaments because they are only supposed to be visible edge-on, producing that effect. It is impossible to see visually, but thanks to the OIII and Ha filters, some impressive colors come out.

I have suffered a lot to process it, not only because of the size of the image close to 64 megapixels, but also because I captured it with 90% moon and quite humid in some days, so mixing the tiles with gradients has been a nightmare. But hey, happy with the result.

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.
