Conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter on March 27, 2019

Got up a little early to catch the conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter on the morning of March 27, 2019. It was a crisp, clear morning (but with lousy seeing as the moon was swimming at high magnification). I can barely see Jupiter in this image, but I was able to make out several moons of Jupiter in 1+ second exposures. Plan to do some HDR processing when I get a chance...

Original: The is first image is a jpg with no processing (ISO200, 1/320 sec exposure).

Version B: Stacked 10 images (ISO200, 1/250 sec exposures), sharpened using wavelets, and adjusted histogram using Registax6.

Version C: Total re-process of ISO200, 1/250 sec images using PixInsight. Calibrated (using bias and flats), Aligned using FFTRegistration script, Stacked, Masked stretch to bring out Jupiter without washing out the Moon (too badly), Color Saturation Adjustment.

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.
