Hard image to capture, 91% of humidity next to the tube and dew point too high... However the object is really nice, so it was worth. It is next to a dark nebula Sandqvist 149.

The purpose was imaging the cluster, which is a not so dense, for being a globular cluster. I have seen images where almost all stars are yellow, however is not what I get from the mages I did on it, with colours closer to one picture that appeared in Astronomy Magazine in 2017 (http://cs.astronomy.com/asy/m/starclusters/491594.aspx).

Also the colours of the stars are interesting. The image is with a few defects but is a kind of experiment, and the region around the cluster is quite ok.

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.
