Dear astronomers,

This is the "second light" of our new Lacerta carbon newton.

M1 was one of the first objects my kids selected, but - to be honest with you - it was too hard for me at that time and I've never able to create a meaningful picture out of the data we had gathered.

So, with a better scope and some more experience, it was time to try it again.

The kids are happy with the outcome and - despite knowing that what they see is the reminder of a supernova from the year 1054 - they refuse to call it somehing else than the "space brain".

Maybe I should have rotated the image differently ;-)

Hope you enjoy the image and CS
Timo

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.
