Spaghetti in Space (Sh2-240)

Spaghetti Nebula (#Sh2-240)••••••••••It's one of the most challenging deepsky objects for any astrophotographer. #Spaghetti nebula is a Supernova remnant spreading 3° appearant size in the night sky, which is equal to 6 full moons if put in a line.This nebula is located in constellation of taurus and apporox 3000 light years away. It spans 150 light years across the night sky.Supernova remnants are leftovers of a dead star. Spaghetti nebula is expanding continuously at the speed of ~950km per second and expected to come into existence 40,000 years ago.Older the supernova, larger anf fainter they are.To capture this image, i spent 3 freaking cold nights and used a dedicated monochrome astrophotography camera, a fast 135mm F2 lens and narrowband filters.Over three nights, i collected 8 hours of HA and 12 hours of Oiii data to make this beautiful image

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.
