From Barnard's Loop to Orion's Belt

The framing on this one was an attempt to capture a bit of Barnard's Loop, which is something I had not tried previously, along with some surrounding objects to give it context. Not ideal, but it did give me inspiration for what a multi-panel mosaic in this area at this scale might become with the proper depth. (A major undertaking I know....but I'm putting on my wish list for future consideration if I should get to a place where I can put in the time into collecting that amount of data, as I think the results would potentially well worth the effort!)

This shot was a bit of an experiement while I was imaging Dreyers Nebula and unfortunately the month of February was not kind for getting the time under the stars to add to this shot and it's now slipping out of reach to add to until later this fall. Definitely under exposed and grainy/noise, but I like the potential this test shot revealed.

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.
