I have decided to start pushing the limits of my talents with some of the harder to image targets out there. CTB1, Abell 85, or Popped Bubble, Garlic Nebula is one of the targets I really want to get right. But I am realizing that I need a lot more data to deal with noise, and to bring out the more subtle details of this beautiful, but very dim super nova remanent. This was 360 minutes of data, using 10 minute images on a pretty clear night. I was going for 50 images, but was cut short by clouds...we live on a cloud planet! I will go back on another night and try to gather more data to combine with this, and hopefully will get a much less noisy image. It is fun trying, and sharing not only my good stuff, but the learning process. Clear Skies

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.
