Hybrid Dragons and Egg

This image is a hybrid of three previous images - one widefield of the area shot with an ED62, and two other images with an RC8 of the dragons themselves and the egg. They have been merged (luminance only) into an upscaled version of the ED62 image. So if you click through to the full page version of the image and do the click and drag zoom on either the dragons or the egg, you see a high res image. Click anywhere else and it is a bit fuzzy as it is essentially an ED62 widefield shot upscaled by 2.5x.

Note: I couldn't upload it at full resolution and quality as there are some constraints on image size on Astrobin for click and drag zoom to work.

Description: Third time lucky! Astrobin has a 25MB limit for click and drag zoom - but that seems to be the size of some internal (uncompressed?) image rather than the uploaded jpeg.

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.
