Compilation of Starless Images Thanks to Starnet ++

I recently upgraded by editing computer and transition to using the GPU instead of the CPU for starnet. What used to take 5-7 minutes on my old computer now takes 12-16 seconds to accomplish. Just flat crazy in my mind!!! I had added starnet 4-5 months ago as an add script and did not really use it due to the time factor. Now is a different story.

With this increase speed, I decided to run my images this year to see which ones I like with a starless impression .

Definitely on the space art side of things, I adjusted the curves and used clone stamp in PI to fix some left over star donuts and reapply some stars that were to bright to fully remove.

I know these images are much more common with the recent addition, but still enjoyable for me appreciate. My favorites are definitely Andromeda, Rosette, horsehead, and Pleaides .

Definitely curious to see what people think, both good or bad.

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.
