Comet C2018 N2 ASASSN

When I finished imaging the Helix Nebula tonight I decided that I was going to look for Comet C2018 N2 ASASSN

again. However rather than doing visually like I've been doing the past three nights I decided that I would

instead key in the Right Ascension and Declination for the comet into my hand controller and ask the mount to

slew to those coordinates. After the mount did it's slew I took a test image and Comet C2018 N2 ASASSN was

in the field of view of my image. This is the forth night that I've tried to find and image this Comet and I

finally got it done. The image isn't spectacular because the comet is relatively small and dim. However I could

see a tail on the comet in all of my raw frames and I was pleased with that. I looked in my eyepiece but I could

not see the Comet in my eyepiece. It's a dim object and my eyes are old. To say that I was tickled to finally

find this Comet would be an understatement.

Description: I reprocessed some of my comet images today just trying to get a better image and bring out the comet as much as I could. I think this image is an improvement over the original image when it comes to visibility of the comet. I also think there is improvement in the star field. However the changes are subtle.

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.
