An old horse in a new dress

Hey boys and girls,
After installing BlurXTerminator, I took old pictures from my early days from the hard drive to see what this program could do.
After a short try, I was pretty impressed with it and thought I'd re-edit my old pictures.
I hadn't published it anywhere at the time. It starts with the region around Alnitak.
Back then, I met a former astro colleague in a public parking lot in the middle of the city of Kiel.
I still remember it being pretty cold. Fits the current equally cold season.
At that time I didn't have an autoguider yet and so I ran short exposures after I got to the north.
The 90 seconds chosen at the time were definitely too long. The stars were already light eggs.

I still had a lot to learn back then as a young padawan ;)

BlueXTerminator was now able to straighten things out again. Absolutely amazing!
However, it was not possible to get more out of the data from back then today. Unfortunately, the area is not that easy to photograph from my current location, so I am now happy to be able to show a presentable picture of the region around Alnitak.
All of my equipment has now been sold.

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.
