Well I put together this machine to use my EF400 lens and make Long exposure astro photos. Decided it was time for the big test tonight. Beautiful night. Hardly a twinkle in the stars. A front moved through the past few days. Dumped 6+ inches of much needed rain and cleared out the sky nicely. Going to be that way for 4 more days too

Finding the fuzzies is even harder with the EF400. I'll be glad when the Argo gets here and my DIY encoder works as planned. Anyways this is the NAN at 400mm actually 640mm with the crop factor of the 7D. Saving up for a 1.5x teleconvertor. Don't want to go to 2x the f number is awfully high at 2x. That will give me 1000mm of FL . 640 impressed me having done the same object with the 200 the other night Filled the frame. I'm sure there is more to be pulled out of the data. Just picked up Neil's Astro Tool Actions and a couple of very nice tutorials so I have something to go through them with.

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.
