4_26_20 Ca, Ha Some days you are better off hitting snooze AR2760

What a dang mess. Mobile imaging with several scopes and filters can increase risk of mistakes

To start off I had multiple USB failures in the middle of image capture. I had to restart 3 times. Then I didn't have the laptop securely plugged in and it died and didn't want to rest start.

The calcium image was to be a mosaic FD but I didn't have enough overlap

I had FD Ha with the lunt DS BUT flats didn't correct the newtonian rings and I forgot the tilt adapter so it was useless. I spent about 2 hours sorting the issues while dodging wasps (must be a nest near by my site).

I really need to simplify this mess (that was the plan today to try CaK imaging with my masked 150 refractor

I had really good seeing (sub 1") and wasted it. Oh well. Learning experience

For Calcium (failed mosaic)

150 masked to 90 + 183 chip+ Lunt Cak

Ha: 150 masked to 120, 4x powermate, imx174 with quantum

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.
