M15 (2018)

Link: http://astroquest1.blogspot.com/

M15 is the second object as part of my imaging with pneumonia series. I was not planning to image with pneumonia - I took this last week when I thought I had a small nasal infection. It was taken after I completed NGC 6934 while waiting for Andromeda to appear. I captured the red and 10 green subframes on 10/13 and finished on 10/14. I was not planning on imaging this although my last image of M15 was a 30 minute exposure from three years ago. Needless to say this image is much better. Like NGC 6934, I was happy how the background turned out. I have never been truly satisfied with my images of globular clusters possibly because I have such a small aperture telescope so I am always happy to get a good background. So far I could not be any happier with my new camera. Also, for those who notice orientation, it is not E-W or N-S because I have my camera set approximately 25 degrees off in order to capture Andromeda and Triangulum when I get to it. I haven't touched my camera so I can easily image over days or weeks.

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.
