I've seen some really nice captures of this object posted recently, unfortunately this isn't one of them. lol To be fair though, their exposure times were six to ten times as long as mine ended up being, so given the time I was able to capture this image I guess I didn't do all that bad.

This object defintely demands lots of exposure time to draw out all of the true detail it has to offer, I came at this object with a bit of naivety in that regard, and was quickly humbled and educated with resulting 10 minute exposures basically just revealing the star field with only the slimmist hint of any nebulosity what so ever! Even after stacking the nebulosity was just barely showing in my capture, and extensive stretching was required to reveal what bits of it I was able to capture with this first go at this object.

I'll have a better game plan next go round when trying this object in the future! :-)

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.
