The Fire Moon

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Ever wanted to know what the moon looks like through a layer of forest fire smoke? Well, this is your chance! Normally I am only used to seeing it this orange when it is really close to the horizon.

This is actually my first bonafide monochrome image, combining LRBG. After my moon adventures some months ago, I decided to commit fully to mono when it comes to planetary. I was also happy that a bahtinov mask test showed all the filters I cobbled together are parfocal, which is nice.

To get the whole moon, each channel is a 2-panel mosaic combining two halves of the moon. When combined, I was surprised it looked just like any old moon picture, so I had to mess with the colours to get is as close as I could to how it looked through my eyepiece.

Also included is one of those mineral moon shots! You can see the seams in this one because of how much I had to crank up the saturation.

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.
