Seagull Nebula - IC 2177

The Seagull Nebula is located approximately 3,800 light-years away, and more than 100 light years across, resembling a bird hence the name of this magnificent stellar nursery. Near the seagull's eye there is a cluster of "recently" born stars (about 1,5 million light years ago) with its "eye" being the brightest and hottest of the newborn stars in the entire nebula. The dominant colour the Seagull Nebula is red, however it was processed in the SHO Palette to give this rainbow like image.

Ha: 170 x 300s

OIII: 47 x 300s

SII: 116 x 300s

The post-processing included removal of stars using starnet++, processed in SHO using Ha as the Luminance layer (adobe photoshop) and then another HOO processed photo (through astropixel-processor) was merged with the SHO one to give a colour balance to the stars.

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.
