Venus-UV-Animation 2023 (39 observations, 10 MB)

Link: http://ag-astronomie.de/Sonnensystem-Galerie

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

The goal of this project was an animated representation of the UV changes of Venus during its evening apparition in 2023. From late March to mid-July I was able to capture a series of 39 observations. Due to the narrow crescent, UV images were no longer useful after July 13.

For better comparability of the proportions and the improved representation of the phase shape, I have slightly highlighted the non-visible part of Venus.
The following are the dates of all 39 observation days:

I hope you enjoy my animation.

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.
