Comet 41P Tuttle

I didn't intend on imaging Comet Tuttle again since I've done it twice in the last week.

However I set all of my gear up and I was trying to decide what to image. I looked toward

Ursa Major and decided I would try to find Comet Tuttle with my Orion ED80 refractor. Prior

to this I'd only seen it with my 8 Inch Newt. I've always been fascinated by comets and try

and view them as much as I can. I pointed my scope to where I thought the comet should be

and there it was first look through my eyepiece with no searching required. Since I was already

on Comet Tuttle and I've not imaged it with my ED80 refractor I decided to go ahead and image

it again. For some reason my image was extremely noisy. I imaged M47 immediately after

imaging Comet Tuttle using the exact same exposure and iso setting yet there was very little

noise at all in my image of M47. Anyway with all of that said this is my most recent image of

Comet Tuttle noise and all. Enjoy.

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.
