Waning Moon 82.7% - A celebration of the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11

I got lucky and the clouds moved off so I could get this the last image of the Moon for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. This was shot Sunday morning at 4:52 am on July 21, 2019. I used the modified Canon T7i with the Sigma 150-600 mm lens on the Skywatcher All View. I used an ISO of 100, f/6.3, 1/320 second at 600 mm focal length. I shot 10 images and stacked all with RegiStax 6 and I used Canon Digital Photo Professional 4 for the post processing. I hope you enjoy this image of the Moon on the anniversary and I want to thank everyone who submitted images for this project, the people who commented on those images, the people that “Like” those images, and those who celebrated in their own way. This is a great community with wonderful people. If only the world could come together as we do each day with nice comments, helpful suggestions, and just a friendly “Like” of our work.

Dark Skies and Clear Nights to all!

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.
