M22 a Globular Cluster in Sagittarius

I've been wanting to image M22 with my AT72ED. Things did not work out as planned tonight.

I managed to take only 15 light frames before clouds rolled in and covered the sky. However

with that said I did get an image and I'm very pleased with the image. It's probably

my best image of M22 to date. I've always enjoyed viewing M22 through an eyepiece and I

consider M22 a more spectacular globular cluster than M13 the great globular cluster in

Hercules. M22 is located in a super saturated star field and this makes for an interesting image.

I really would have liked to have used a higher iso setting but Sagittarius right now is located in

the heaviest light pollution in my sky. After taking several test shots I decided that iso 800

would be the highest I could use. I never know when to quit talking but with all of that said

please enjoy my first image of M22 using my new AT72ED Refractor.

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.
