I was asked what it takes to become an astrophotographer.

I responded just passion.

Why passion?

Because photographing the universe is a challenge and perhaps the most difficult type of photography.

Because I'm learning to be an amateur astronomer, engineer, electrician, photographer and ex++ computer operator.

Because I exercise the virtue of patience and in "why doesn't it work?" I say "how can i make it work?"

Because I have something deep in my soul that leads me miles away from home chasing the darkness of the sky.

Because it's magic to trap photons that have traveled millions of years to reach Earth.

Because that's where I realize the importance and at the same time the smallness of my individual existence based on the whole.

Because I look at the vast black sky and that gives me passion for life...

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.
