Sunset Panoramic from Backyard

Another beautiful sunset captured with my Autel Evo 2 8k drone from the backyard at about 400ft. altitude. This is my first attempt at a panoramic using the drone. I did reduce the size down from the original as it was three 48 megapixel shots combined and kept crashing the Topaz noise reduction software I use for the low light drone shots. They are pretty noisy straight out of the camera due to its relatively small sensor.

Although the clouds make for beautiful sunsets they have mostly been the norm for my weather patterns lately and they have definitely put a damper on any astrophotography. When I did have a few clear nights they were spent gathering PEC curves for my MyT mount which seems to be having issues with the RA worm. Looks like it will need replacing as I am having rather large RA spikes that ruin almost 80 percent of any images captured 😢. Anyways, I am waiting to hear back from SB for a solution and hope to be back imaging soon!

The image is best viewed at full resolution. If you look just left of the sunset, on the horizon, you can see the testing tower and a crane used to hoist rockets for testing at Marshal Space Flight Center. Enjoy and thanks for looking!

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.
