I started to use my Nikon 70-200 f2.8 lens and some results are quite nice to my eye. Here is a first publication around Deneb in Cygnus...

Do you see the man's profile with a red eye, on the right ? Once you'll see it, you will not be able to "not" see it anymore :-) Imagination is a funny item.

DATA :

18 x 300 sec. @ 1600 iso (200mm @ f2.8)

B VERSION : 8 x 300'' @ 1600iso : here it is in good focus but less density because I didn't catch more frames during that session. Just for you guys to compare.

NOTE : the f2.8 is sharp but it does bring much coma on the edges. This version is a little bit out of focus, but more detailed than one I did in 8 subs... What to do ?

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.
