Apennines, Eratosthenes, Sinus Aestuum - 1/04/2020

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

After photos from a long focal length, which metaphorically need to be called "rocking in the clouds", because of their softness - as if the structures were hidden behind the muslin curtain - it's time to "descend to the ground" and base the moon imaging on a standard F-2270mm scale.

For the "appendix" of the Apennines touching Eratosthenes and for the tangle of wrinkles in the east of the Sinus Aestuum (Bay of Heat), which extends like a thick braid along the bottom of the bay, it was worth capturing this view. And for the image of the Sea of Rain separated by the Apennines from two other pools, when the light of the first quarter brings out the most charm from craters, hills, clefts, when it elevates the peaks of the mountain massif, when it reveals the smallest wrinkles on the basalt surface of the seas. To look at all these structures from a distance is like sailing - if not on the frozen basalt pane that has even trapped time here - at least on the wings of the imagination.

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.
