Moon on July 17, 2021 - Northeast Quadrant

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Imaged the northeastern quadrant of the first quarter moon (45.8% illuminated) in this long focal length panorama captured the evening of July 16, 2021 (July 17th in UTC). The seeing and transparency were excellent (for my location at least!) this night and I was able to nail focus better then usual which resulted in some of my best 'hi-res' (for my equipment) lunar imaging. This one is worth zooming in on and I'm going to post a few local regions that picked out features better than I have been able to in previous efforts.

Imaged with a C8 Evo, ZWO ADC, Baader 685nm IR pass filter, and ZWO ASI174MM. Imaging train was configured to give ~F/20 (~0.18 arcsec/pixel). Image capture using Firecapture with gain set at 250 and an exposure of 12.5 ms. Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 25% of 1000 frames). Mosaic generated from 26 panels using Microsoft Image Explorer. Wavelet sharpening and histogram adjustment in Registax6.

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.
