Flaming Eagle in the sky M16 in HOO (Mohammed Dawoud)

Flaming Eagle in the sky M16 in HOO

Eagle nebula (M16) is interstellar cloud that composed mainly of hydrogen gas & dust. It contains star formation nurseries like open star cluster NGC 6611. The UV radiation from the young stars is responsible for excitement of the surrounding hydrogen gas to glow in red colour. In the middle of the image is a dark nebula that hiding star formation and famously known as “Pillars of Creation”. This nebula is 7000 light years distant from Earth. Gear setup: Celestron HD 8 @ f/6.3, iOptron GEM 45 guided by SW 50 & ZWO 290MM, Optolong e-Nhance filter, ZWO 2600MC @ 0. Captured by APT, PHD2, Sharp cap pro, 29 x 300sec, 10 Darks, 50 Bias, No Flats. Total integration 2.4 hours. Stacked by APP & Processed by PI and PS.

I’ve extracted the Ha & O iii channels from the narrowband Triad filter which captured by ZWO colour camera and processed by APP. Then I combine channels in PS as HOO.

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.
