The Great Orion Nebula
Constellation: Orion

One of my favorites, the Orion Nebula located below the Orion's Belt asterism and is a naked eye nebula, looking like a bright fuzzy star. The nebula is a reflection nebula, reflecting the light of nearby stars, instead of emitting the light due to being ionized. Located at around 1,300 light-years, it is also one of the closest star forming regions to Earth. The core of this target is a very young star cluster known as the Trapezium.

On the processing side, I knew this target was a high dynamic range target, having both dim and very bright areas, so I kept my exposures to 60 seconds per sub, compared to 120 or 180 seconds i normally do. But this was still too much for the core, being blown out. So I may grab more Integration of really short exposures of maybe 15 seconds to retain detail in the core.

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.
