Lunar mosaic 24th November 8000 x 8000px!

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

A labour of love and about 330GB of raw data ... based on 41 sets of 1000 frames processed from Autostakkert. The top 20% were kept and then a Wavlet + sharpen in filter in Astrosurface.

There's considerable overlap in the frames otherwise this would be a stupid size image, but I was paranoid about missing some sections when you only see around 10% of the moon's FOV in each capture.

My only fail was the overexposed Proculus crater on the edge of the Mare Crisium thats one of the brightest craters on the moon, so it's excusable I guess... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Processing time on a 10th gen Core i7 with modern NVME SSD and 32Gb RAM was around 5-7 minutes per section, so about 4 - 4 1/2 hours work in total plus a bit of Photoshop panoramic merge at the end that took about 10 minutes to chew over. Makes my previous effort with a Altair GP cam 2 with a 200mm SCT look a bit weak!

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.
