Sadr Region and Crescent Nebula

This image was shot by Stephanie Hinton, my good friend and I'm posting it for her with her full permission. This was her first time to do deep space astrophotography. I helped her with setup and walked her through using APT and PhD2. I did the processing after the shoot, which like always isn't the best. Stephanie got me into astrophotography in 2019 when she fell in love with Milky Way photography. I never really got into it because it meant traveling late at night to sometimes sketchy locations to get away from light pollution. After a couple of times out, I decided I wanted a telescope and mount. I purchased a WO GT81 and a Skywatcher Eq6-r Pro and the rest is history for me. After a few images she also purchased a telescope and mount, but this is the first time for her to actually shoot. As always, in Tennessee we were supposed to have two good nights, but night two turned in to dark clouds and lightning, so we only got to shoot one night. I'm proud of the image she took. I only wished I could give it more justice in processing.

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.
