First image from Astronomer's Paradise, dark site. This is Ed's (Deep Space Products) new place. I had to target something I couldn't from my back yard. This was taken over two nights as I learn the new system and how everything works. The setup isn't optimal yet. But this was done unguided with 10 minute frames. I lost a bunch of frames the first night due to trying the beta of PHD2 which made RA oscillate after the meridian flip. So I went unguided for the majority of the data using a 50 point model. Still having some minor issues dialing in focus with Hocus Focus in NINA. But in general this turned out pretty good.

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.
