When imaging why not push your boundaries and test your skills on targets you felt were unattainable from the northern hemisphere? We took a leap of faith and tested the waters at imaging at an extremely low angle of 7.5 - 13 deg. above the horizon. This is staring through 4.5 - 8 times the amount of air compared to the zenith. We aren't going to win the FWHM battle however we can now cross off a fantastic ancient stellar explosion off our bucket list.

We are pretty pleased with the data we are seeing coming off the Stellarvue scope even at this acute angle. The full frame IMX 455 chip really opens up the scope while keeping the image scale at a reasonable level for the conditions we see.

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.
