Comments:

A great evening for imaging. Very warm for this time of the year and extremely clear skies although very light polluted too. NGC6480 has a weird description in the new general catalog. The SkyX asserts it is a double star (I would rule that out), many online sites claim it is an open cluster, others would rather call it a bright nebula but to my understanding and according to the image, it is without doubt a dark nebula in a huge star field. Ok, let's just call it LDN1795. Indeed, the Lind catalog of dark nebulas include this interesting object and some of its siblings nearby too such as LDN1788, LDN10 and LDN12.

It is located in the Scorpius constellation following the teapot in Sagittarius.

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.
