Jupiter in Infrared (IR742) September 12, 2021 (Jim Lafferty)

Jupiter in Infrared (IR742) September 12, 2021

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

My first try with an Astronomic Ir742 filter--Jupiter-September 12, 2021. This Infrared filter allows me to penetrate slightly deeper into the cloud layers of Jupiter to reveal additional detail. The filter provides a monochrome image and is often used when the astronomical seeing is not good or excellent. Imaging in infrared tends to "tame" the effects of an unsteady atmosphere.
Best 9,000 frames stacked from (1) 3 minute SER of 11,000 frames
.
Two of Jupiter's moons (Europa (and shadow) at the bottom of the frame, Ganymede at the top) are also visible.

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.
