Orion One Last Time, 85 mm

Once again, for two nights in a row, I had a clear sky night. The wind was still too high for the larger lens so I went with my Rokinon 85 mm lens and the Canon T3i on a fixed tripod. Unguided I shot 20 Lights and 10 each of Darks and Dark Flats, no Flats this time. I used an ISO of 800, f/2.8, and 4 seconds exposure (even with that short exposure I got some star trailing so don’t look).

I just couldn’t let Orion go without one more try. This Spring and Summer I will go after a few galaxies and, of course, the Milky Way.

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.
