Gum 17 / RCW 33 and Trumpler 10 (Andrew Murrell)

Gum 17 / RCW 33 and Trumpler 10

I have been looking for Nebula targets that were a little more off-track just like my Observing. This is the perfect time of year to shoot Vela, Carina, and Puppis. I looked at my Uranometria and settled on Gum 17. I could find very little about this nebula so it was a challenge to decide on a sub-length. In the end, I decided on a 3-minute sub. I set the shoot going for 150 subs but the weather had other plans. I had only just gotten to bed when I received a warning from a weather app about rain in 5 minutes. I headed out and just packed up in time before the rain came down. It was not predicted

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.
