Pillars of Creation

The iconic image that captivated the imagination of many. Here, the color palette was inspired by the Hubble image with the deep reds and blues and the star spikes.

Data was originally captured with an oddball setup, the Celestron C14 (non Edge version) with the Optec 0.5x reducer and the very small pixels of the 183 camera. 3nm filters very initially used for an HOO image and I added the Sii from a CDK24 data of Telescope live.

Revision A: Is the H-alpha data with of the C14 from our backyard. With those small 2.4 micron pixels, the native image scale is very high at 0.24 arcseconds / pixel.

There was no space for an OAG, not being able to guide properly subs were limited to 45s only, there is still some evidence of sub optimal tracking.

The image is displayed at a high resoltuion of 0.5 arcseconds/pixel.

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.
