Saturn near opposition on July 10, 2019

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Observed and imaged Jupiter and Saturn on the night of July 9/10, 2019. Conditions were great this evening with clear skies, average to above average seeing, and good transparency. Saturn reached opposition on July 9, so this was a great opportunity to image.

Imaged with a C8 Evo, ZWO ADC, Baader UV-IR Cut and IR 685 nm pass filters, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give me ~F/20. Image capture using Firecapture with gain set at 375 and an exposure of 25 ms (UV-IR cut) and 30 ms (IR 685 pass). Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 50% of ~15,000/10,000 frames captured over 300 seconds). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6. Derotated images in WinJUPOS. (3 subs used to generate final image for each filter and all six images used to generate combined UV-IR/IRpass image).

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.
