PANSTARRS 2017 T2

This was my first comet attempt and one of the first times I used the ASI AIR Pro. Was very complicated processing needed to separate the background from the comet, pix insight comet alignment worked but I couldn’t easily filter out the background in the comet master and ended up using GIMP by hand with a Surface pen to cut out and paste the comet into the background master. I just got lucky, I was testing out the air with my gt102, ASI6200MC and GEM45EC and PANSTARRS 2017 T2 showed up in the tonight’s best list. I didn’t even expect to actually see the comet but when I did and saw a slew of galaxies around it I knew I wanted to capture this so I spent all night getting data. This was Spring 2020, I will need to go back to my data to get the exact date. Been sitting on this one for most of the year. Hope you like it.

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.
