Sinus Iridum

Questa è la prima luce in assoluto del mio nuovo Canopus 18". Quest'immagine in realtà non doveva neanche essere elaborata perchè stavo facendo dei test sulla focale e sulla funzionalità globale. Inoltre ho dovuto lottare contro la polvere che era presente sul CCD. Ma, ripeto, pensavo di non doverla elaborare. Il risultato però mi ha davvero stupito. Non per la risoluzione, che è facilmente raggiungibile con diametri inferiori, ma per l'enorme dinamica nonostante il seeing fosse davvero scarso. Spero sia di vostro gradimento.

Grazie per l'attenzione,

Raf

This is the first absolute light of my new Canopus 18". This image really should not even be processed because I was doing some tests on focal and global functionality. Moreover, I have had to fight against the dust that was present on the CCD. But, I repeat, I thought I do not have to elaborate it. The result, however, was really amazing. Not for the resolution, which is easily accessible with smaller diameters, but for the enormous dynamic despite the seeing was really poor. I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you for your attention.

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.
