Collected 8,727 Stellina fits lights (1,155 bggr and 7,572 rggb) over 6 nights on 2023 August 17-18, 23-24, 24-25 and 2023 September 13-14, 14-15, 5-16. Flipped the subs with a bggr Bayer matrix to rggb using WinBayerConvert. Used APP analyses to down select to 2,575 lights. Used APP to stack the 2,575 lights with 250 darks. Edited result with PixInsight and Photoshop.

A difficult target for Stellina and star shape was particularly problematic, as was editing the background without losing too much nebulosity. Not completely satisfied with the outcome, but pleased to have captured the objects. Other than editing, renaming and organizing the images was the most work.

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.
