Historical Review

The new year is already 7 days old but the clouds are still the same old ones. So, I digged in my digital jewel box and grabbed five Milky Way images taken back in the summers of 2019 and 2021 (obviously at that time not intended for a panorama). In spite of various ISO settings and frame counts, MS-ICE did a fine job putting the images almost seamlessly together.

Back then I was a lot greener than today exposing no more than 30 seconds at high ISO and rough polar alignment using the formular [π × thumb]. On top of this, the images were stacked in DSS and processed in Photoshop CS2 long before I came across Siril.

The brightest "star" on the image is Jupiter in May 2019. The brightest star in the left third is Altair.

Naturally, this is a cropped remainder of a raw panorama but it qualifies for use in brochures and websites, and perhaps, though nothing that rocks, also for your liking.

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.
