Comet Leonard & M3

Revision title: Reworked Image

Got up this morning to capture Comet Leonard passing by M3. I used a color camera this time, much easier. I used APP to stack on the Comet and stack on the stars, then I used PS to combine the images. I read that this the last time this comet passed Earth was over 70,000 years ago and that it will not come back. So this is not only a once in a life time event, this probably the only time this comet will be visable to human eyes. Kind of cool!!!

Title: Reworked Image

Description: I was not very happy with either of the first two images. The first one had way too much noise and the second looked over processed. So I went back and reworked the two images that I merged and I think this looks a lot better.

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.
