This mosaic of 7 tiles for 80 mega pixels represents a large field around the Large Magellanic Cloud. I was delighted to be able to obtain such a detailed image with material, all in all, modest for astrophotography.

This irregular galaxy, composed of a single spiral arm, is crossed by a large bar.

It is very rich in celestial objects including the Tarantula nebula (NGC 2070), the largest known nebula. It was in the region of this nebula that we had the chance to discover the candidate planetary nebula FoGl 1 during a trip to Chile in 2018.

Don't hesitate to follow the link to TIFF/FITS to open the full zoomable version.

Total exposure time : 17 hours.

Acquisitions from the 22nd to the 26th of December 2019.

Place : Hacienda des Etoiles, Ovalle region (Chile).

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.
