NGC 1566 captured on a hot humid night - Iluka, Perth Western Australia 7 Jan 2022. There are only 29 x3 minute subs used here, unfortunately the target drops below my roof line just after twilight so the sky is still quite bright . Overall a challenging image to process. This is the first image I have taken with warmer camera settings (+5 degrees C instead of -10' C) to avoid icing and dew. I think I saw more hot pixels but I used Pixinsight Cosmetic Correction and this cleared them. The image is overexposed really and the stars are saturated but overall I am pleased I got it this year.

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.
