Open cluster NGC 3324 and emission nebula IC 2599, together nicknamed "Gabriela Mistral Nebula" after the Chilean poet. Situated in the northern outskirts of the Carina nebula ~35 light-years wide and 7500 light-years away in Carina. Stellar winds and radiation from stars in NGC 3324 have shaped the hollow structure seen.

SHO false-color image from narrowband data 15h 50m (31:32:32x600s) from CHI-1 telescope, a Planewave CDK24 with FLI PL 9000 camera, and Astrodon SHO 3nm filters, situated in the Rio Hurtado Valley, Chile. Part of the telescope.live telescope network. Taken on multiple dates March-June 2020-2022.

Processed in PixInsight. The colors are modified Foraxx palette to have a little more balance in blue. Stretched heavily with GHS to bring out as many details as possible, noise reduction and details enhanced via constructing a synthetic luminance. Star colors via SPCC in narrow band mode with Photon Flux as white reference.

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.
