Orion 2020

Every year around this time the great constellation of Orion clears the trees in our backyard in the late evening and beckons for another round of imaging. I captured a series of images using a 200 mm telephoto lens and dual narrowband filter on the evening of December 22, and before packing up the equipment decided to grab some wide field images using 14 mm and 35 mm lenses. So this is Orion, 2020 version, like most folks I'll be glad to move on into 2021 tomorrow. Hoping for clear skies and better times for all in the new year...

Imaged with 35mm/F2.5 Nikon lens at F/2.5 and Rokinon 14mm/F2.8 at F/2.8, STC Duo Narrowband Clip Filter, and full spectrum modified Nikon D5300. These are single subs (red channel only for the Ha data) with a quick stretch/curves/hdr processesing in PixInsight and noise reduction using DeNoise AI.

Original (& Final) Verion: 35 mm Nikon Series E @ F/2.5, single 30s exposure at ISO3200

Revision B: 14 mm Rokinon @ F/2.8, single 30s exposure at ISO3200

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.
