Well, since I practice astrophotography I think that the position of image objects can have its importance on their aesthetic aspect or even on the perception of certain details.

This is the case in planetary, with Jupiter, Saturn and Mars that are often presented with different orientations.

The same is true with the Moon, for example with the famous crater Clavius, rarely left in its natural vision.

I think the Copernicus crater is also an example of this.

When I compare these two views of the same image, the horizontal translation one seems to me to highlight more the beauty of the ramparts in terraced or even their contrast.

Reality or impression?

Thank you for your comments.

Clear sky to all.

Bon, depuis que je pratique l’astrophotographie je pense que la position des objets imagés peut avoir son importance sur leur aspect esthétique voire même sur la perception de certains détails.

C’est le cas en planétaire, avec Jupiter, Saturne et Mars que l’on présente souvent avec des orientations différentes.

Il en va de même avec la Lune, par exemple avec l’illustre cratère Clavius, rarement laissé dans sa vision naturelle.

Je trouve que le cratère Copernic lui aussi en est une illustration.

Lorsque je compare ces deux vues de la même image, celle en translation horizontale me semble mettre plus en valeur la beauté des remparts en gradins voire leur contraste.

Réalité ou impression ?

Merci pour vos commentaires.

Bon ciel à tous.

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.
