Eagle Nebula (M16) with the Pillars of Creation

Link: https://www.instagram.com/lopescosmos/

My first record of the Eagle Nebula (the Pillars of Creation are located in its central region). The stacked frames, captured on two consecutive nights, totaled 8 hours of exposure. Gradually, I'm looking to catch up on processing that was delayed due to lack of time.

"The Eagle Nebula (Messier 16, NGC 6611) is a young open star cluster located in the Serpent constellation. It is located approximately 7000 light years from Earth and its apparent magnitude is equal to 6.4. It is a system relatively young, in astronomical terms, only 5.5 million years old ". Source: Wikipedia

"The pillars of creation are clusters of dust and gas of interstellar size in the Eagle nebula. In the name,"pillars" is suggestive of the shape of the place, and the "Creation" part originated due to the location being a huge birthplace of stars ". Source: Wikipedia

Sky-Watcher 203mm F/5 EQ5 reflector with Onstep, Canon T6 (primary focus) modified, Optolong L-eNhance filter (in half of the frames). 50mm guidescope with ASI 290MC. 96 light frames (48x300" ISO 800 + L-eNhance: 48x300" ISO 1600), 40 dark frames.. Processing: Sequator and PixInsight.

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.
