This time we were lucky with the clouds. Shortly before 02:00 CEST we arrived at the observation site in Cappenberg. Neowise was already over the horizon. Now build everything up quickly. NLCs were still visible on the horizon, unfortunately they were somewhat covered by the row of trees. Compact clouds passed over the comet, the stars blurring again and again.

---------------------------

Diesmal hatten wir Glück mit der Wolkenlage. Kurz vor 02:00 CEST kamen wir am Beobachtungsstandort in Cappenberg an. Neowise war schon über dem Horizont. Jetzt schnell alles aufbauen. Am Horizont waren noch NLCs zu sehen, leider wurden sie von der Baumreihe etwas verdeckt. Über dem Kometen zogen kompakte Wolken durch, immer wieder verschwamnden die Sterne.

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.
