Not my best work and not my worst neither... My ASI183MC Pro decided that night to have a temperature sensor Death and the only temp I was able to cool camera down to, was "Zero" by tricking it into cooling to a lower number and then switching back to zero and keeping cooling power at same power level the whole night. The darks at zero however did not correct out well, which let me to the conclusion the sensor temperature was not exactly at zero. I had to crop out amp glow and other imperfections along the edges.
At the end, a defect in the camera is a defect and I hope ZWO come sooner then later to the table. The camera is not even 6 months old. I am still waiting for a RMA from them... Not impressed. So, until fixed, this will be my last color image for a good while...

Still, I was pleased to see good detail in the core of the Eagle and make out the pillars of creation, and that with my tiny "guiding scope".
This object lies some 7,000 light years away from us in the constellation Serpens. It was discovered by Swiss astronomer Jean-Philippe de Cheseaux in 1745.
The age is estimated at approximately 5,5 million years. The Pillars Of Creation - NGC 6611, part of the core of the Eagle Nebula gained popular fame after Hubble's images in 1995 were released.

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.
