Moon panorama with Faraday and Stöfler

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Been a while since my last Lunar posting, wel actually, since my last posting, work and covid-illness during the christmas vacations have kept me a bit off from new images and from keeping up with so many great images from the rest of fellow astrobiners.

Anyway, on the 12th December i had a window of opportunity.... with bad seeing ... but I decided fight it back with hard drive space and extended my moon takes up to 10 minutes at around 140 fps... that means that I ate up TB SDD in that single session...., my goal was to take only the best 1000 images out of around 80000 images... and see if my lucky imaging would improve by more numbers in the lottery....

Besides this avalanche approach, and as I was taking three images to form the pano, on the panorama making (PTGUI) I was selecting which parts were better focused of those redundant /overlapping areas (I am always very generous on the overlapping).

I took three panoramas, this one with Faraday, Schöller is the first one, and I think the best resulting one. I will be posting the other two soon.

Just as side info, Stöfler is a very large complex crater, with a diameter of 126 km and a depth of 2.7 km. The eastern portion of the crater’s floor is mountainous and gives the impression of being the remnants of a former crater, which was almost completely destroyed by the Faraday impact. Faraday crater is the big damaged formation that crushes the East wall of Stöfler. It has a diameter of 69 km and a wall height of about 4 km.

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.
