Moon 79.7% (+) C8 EHD Lunar Mosaic (4 panels) - On edge - 20230131

It’s becoming my standard run on the moon with the RedCat/C8 rig: First a quick shot with the RedCat, and then a fly-by over the moon to create a lunar mosaic at native focal length, and so on ,,,

Time, and clouds, permitting, of course …

The Southern pole, panel 4, was already slightly tainted by clouds rushing over. But about 5 seconds into starting off panel 5, it was game over ,,,

I crossed my fingers, looked at all the weather forecast apps and satellite imagery … but apparently it wasn’t to be …

Just this terminator mosaic of the moon, Copernicus nicely visible. I had changed my gain/exposure about halfway through the panels, but the stitching seemed to have been able to match the surface brightness of the panels

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.
