In 2006 I first imaged the Hubble Deep Field South area and identified 13 non-stellar objects, which translates to a distance of about 4.5 billion light years and magnitude 22. At that time I was apparently the first person to attempt this, certainly I could find no evdience of others and neither could the Hubble Deep Field Space team who I communicated with in order to identify the objects in my FOV.

Since that time 8 years have gone by which have included many equipment upgrades and improvements in my personal knowledge of processing astrophotography.

This year (2014) I re-imaged the Hubble Deep Field South using more modern equipment and techniques. This time at least 35 objects are identifiable which translates to a limit of approximately magnitude 22.8 and distance of perhaps 4.8 billion light years.

This image is the full FOV of the area, with the Hubble Deep Field outlined. My website contains much more information and other images on the topic.

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.
