Another year in astrophotography (Edition 2021) (Frank Breslawski)

Another year in astrophotography (Edition 2021)

Link: https://sternwarte-wasserberg.de/

Somehow I'm a little late with this compilation of my images of the last year. But in fact I have just now finalized the processing of the material from 2021 and also finally published it.

I have a lot of great memories (concerning the actual imaging sessions as well as the many great and very helpful conversations with other astro colleagues and the exchange here on AstroBin!) and besides some minor issues I have to say that my setup worked amazingly well. Fingers crossed for the future!

My personal "Best of" the year 2021 contains 18 images for this compilation and consists of a total integration time of 317 hours.

The objects from top left to bottom right are:

01) NGC 6992 - The Eastern Veil Nebula (SHO)

02) Messier 57 - The Ring Nebula with its outer shells (HaLRGB)

03) NGC 6960 - The Western Veil Nebula (SHO)

04) Polaris and the Galactic Cirrus

05) Lynds Dark Nebula (LDN) 1622 - The Boogeyman

06) NGC 1514 - The Crystal Ball Nebula

07) M104 - The Sombrero Galaxy

08) WR 134 - Some OIII Bubble formed by a Wolf-Rayet Star

09) NGC 2903 (HaLRGB)

10) NGC 3628 - The Hamburger Galaxy and its tidal tail

11) Barnard 150 - The Seahorse Nebula

12) IC5068 - Some smiling Face in Cygnus (Candy SHO Edition)

13) IC 1848 / Sh2-199 - The Soul Nebula

14) M78 meets Barnard's Loop

15) A Squid in the Ocean of Fire (OU4 and SH2-129)

16) Barnard 174 and Friends

17) The Soul Nebula's Great Barrier (Sh2-199 / LBN 673)

18) IC 63 - Gamma Cas Nebula or the Ghost of Cassiopeia

And last but not least: My compilations of the last years

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.
