NGC 891

I didn't plan on imaging this object when I went outside. I was planning on trying to image NGC 1499 the California Nebula. I've never imaged NGC 1499 with my Orion 8 Inch Newtonian Astrograph and I wanted to see how it would do with this object. When I first went outside NGC 1499 was not high enough in the sky to image. So I decided to image NGC 891 while waiting for NGC 1499 to move higher in the sky. As it turned out I did image NGC 1499 after imaging NGC 891. However I only captured about half of NGC 1499 in the field of view. My 8 Inch Newt did not have a wide enough field of view to get the entire object framed liked I wanted it. I was not pleased with the image of NGC 1499 because it does not look like the California Nebula if you can't see the entire nebula and what I did capture was really large in the field of view. I'm glad I did decide to image NGC 891 because at least I got an image for my time spent outside last night.

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.
