Ha/Ha/CLS/CLS composition

21/21/26/26 5 minutes total exposure

20 darks and 15 flats per channel

Comments:

Also known as the running chicken, it is a pretty easy target for small telescopes in Centaurus. It is an emission nebula in a rich HII region. Thackeray's Globules are visible at the center of the image.The star cluster Collinder 249 is somewhat shaded by the nebula. It is roughly at a distance of 6500 ly from Earth. A two evening project in Ha and CLS only.

Un objeto fotogénico en el Centauro. IC2944 es la nebulosa que rodea la estrella lambda Centauro en tanto que IC2948 corresponde al área más prominente de la imagen. Se pueden apreciar los glóbulos de Tackeray (o del tipo Bok) en la región central. #IC2944 #Centaurus

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.
