Dear Starfriends,

NGC 6188
This is a freely available dataset from Deep Sky West (DSW). Unfortunately not like the recording on the website in SHO, but just as detailed and of high quality. The data are available here as calibrated L RGB data. Just as demanding in processing.

Some see a battle of dragons in this object. Others see here the spark of the gods, which jumps over to Adam and brings him to life. This situation was picked up by Michelangelo and translated into a fantastic painting.
I found an interesting video about it on Youtube:

"Reshaping NGC 6188 into Michelangelo's Adam Creation"

It only takes 36 seconds, simply fantastic!

NGC 6188 is the name of an emission nebula and reflection nebula in the constellation Altar. NGC 6188 has an angular extent of 20.0' × 12.0'. The object was discovered by John Herschel on April 15, 1836. NGC6188 is about 4,000 light-years from Earth.

Hallo Sternfreundinnen und -freunde,

NGC 6188
Das ist ein frei verfügbarer Datensatz von Deep Sky West (DSW). Leider nicht wie die Aufnahme auf der Website in SHO, aber dafür genauso so Detailreich und von hoher Qualität. Die Daten liegen hier als calibrierte L RGB-Daten vor. In der Bearbeitung genauso anspruchsvoll.

Die einen sehen in diesem Objekt einen Kampf der Drachen. Andere sehen hier den Götterfunken, der auf Adam überspringt und ihn zum Leben erweckt. Diese Situation wurde von Michelangelo aufgegriffen und in ein fantastisches Gemälde umgesetzt.
Ich habe dazu auf Youtube ein interessantes Video gefunden:

„Reshaping NGC 6188 into Michelangelo's Adam Creation”

Es dauert nur 36 Sekunden, einfach fantastisch!

Thank you for watching and stay healthy

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.
