First light following Celestron's repair of my OTA after I stupidly slammed it into the ground. This one was a difficult one to stack because of all the different exposure times. Normally, I go to great pains in the capture details on here to document everything. But with sub times of 180s, 60s, 30s, and 1s shot on six different filters over eight nights, I just didn't have it in me to wade through all that, so I just summarized by filter and exposure time.

This was Picture of the Day on July 2, 2022 on AAPOD2

Description: Once again, I was remiss in not posting this when it won. In my defense, we were on the road and I didn't even realize it had won until weeks later.

Title: AAPOD2 Monthly Winner for July 2022

Description: I didn't even realize until recently that this was the monthly winner for last July--and I certainly didn't expect it. I'm all the more gratified by this since this was the image I had started shooting when I slammed my C11 into the ground. That delayed completion of this project by a good month while it was gone for repairs.

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.
