Revision title: Final

This project was possible because of my neighbor to the south having their massive oak tree removed over the summer. It opened up the view to the south which I never had before. I decided to go after something in Orion since I never have since starting AP in 2020. As a friend said to me when I first started this project in November 2022(paraphrasing), "So you're going to wage war with Alnitak huh? Every astro-photographer needs to face Alnitak at some point, it's like a hazing into AP of some sort." I ended up with just over 20hrs for the project, which is way more than I thought I'd be able to get. I got lucky with the early winter weather for sure... 2-3 weeks of multiple clear skies helps rack up the integration. The seeing was unusually good for the time of year as well. I've been able to spend a lot of time processing this one due to the complete 180 we've had in weather. No useful imaging nights since I finished this project's data collection, which feels like forever ago. I hope you enjoy zooming in and looking around as much as I did! Even though this is one of the most commonly imaged targets on earth, and I'm sure most are sick of seeing it by now

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.
