I decide to create a new entry so new Astrobin members have the opportunity to be aware about this resource.

Over the past few years, I have continuously made my raw files freely available to anyone in the world. The files can be used for your image processing exercise, for scientific analyses, or to be incorporated with your own data to create pretty images. The requirement is to acknowledge the source of the files, and the usage of the product has to be noncommercial. The details about how to use these data and the range of use terms are provided in a read-me file. Please read that read-me file first before doing anything. The entry point is here:

Around the beginning of each year, I will release the raw files that are more than a year old. For example, in early 2021, I released all my raw files taken in 2019. The 2019 data are particularly interesting. I had a trip to Western Australia, and took a great bunch of images for the LMC, plus a small number of other southern targets. Check my Astrobin gallery to see what are available. In the actual raw file archive, you may even find images that I have never processed and published.

Enjoy!

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.
