Acquisition type: Electronically-Assisted Astronomy (EAA, e.g. based on a live video feed)

NGC 6604 is a young=10.5px open cluster of stars in the equatorial constellation of Serpens, positioned about 1.5° north of the Eagle Nebula (NGC 6611).=10.5px The cluster was discovered by William Herschel on July 15, 1784. It is located at a distance of 4,580=10.5px light years from the Sun, about 210 ly (65 pc) above the galactic plane.=10.5px NGC 6604 forms the densest part of the Ser OB2 association of co-moving stars.[This cluster is fairly compact with a Trumpler class of I3p, and is still undergoing star formation. It lies at the heart of an H II region with the identifier S54, and the two are most likely linked.=10.5px The cluster has an estimated age of 6.5=10.5px million years and contains several massive stars of the OB type. One of these is the high mass triple star system HD 167971, which includes the over-contact eclipsing binary MY Ser. It is one of the most luminous stars in the galaxy. HD 168112 is another colliding-wind binary in the cluster; both systems are over-luminous in their X-ray emission.

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.
