Messier 35 - NGC 2168 - NGC 2158 - LRGB - ONTC 8" Newtonian - ASI1600MM - CEM60 - Voyager

Messier 35 - a.k.a. NGC 2168, along with the "bonus" cluster of NGC 2158. According to Wikipedia, NGC 2158 was once thought to be a globular but is now "known to be an intermediate-age, metal poor open cluster."

Taken with the ONTC 8" Newtonian between late October 2021 and January 2022.

Captured with Voyager using my DIY scheduler until January, then using Voyager Advanced's beta scheduler.

About 200 minutes each of L, R, G and B with an ASI1600MM.

The RGB really had everything, I could have skipped the L on this one.

Calibrated with Siril and gess after each session, then aligned and stacked with PI's WBPP and post-processed with PI. Increased star color with Bodoni Tools in PS.

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.
