Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

After the way above average seeing conditions on April 21st, I missed the Golden Handle due to clouds on 22nd, but was able to image again on 23rd. Conditions were nearly as good as on 21st, just a little less detail came through the atmospheric layers, but still worth leaving the final image at original resolution.

I captured a whole mosaic again, consisting of 15 individual tiles. After processing the data, it felt it had been well worth filling my ssd. Not as crisp as the captures from 21st, but really nice light on Schiller and Gassendi with Mare Humorum. Aristarchus with its rimae is still covering the bright interior in darkness, and up north near the terminator, the sun just barely hits the two central peaks of Philolaus, casting a pointed shadow all through the crater, maybe my favorite view here.

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.
