Astrophotography 2022

Astrophotography 2022
--------------------------------------
A collage of my published images for the calendar year 2022. A very satisfactory result given the amount of rain and cloudy nights we've had on the east coast of Oz for 2022. It does help having two separate imaging systems with my QSI683 Camera/TSA120 OTA combination giving a medium field of view (1.5d x 1.0d) and the ASI6200 Camera/Canon 200mm lens combination giving a wide field of view (10d x 7d). Having both systems running simultaneously on a clear night is a real bonus. A happy and productive New Year to everyone.

A brief description of each image follows (click on name for link to published image).

Cederblad 122. A large area of nebulosity located near the Southern Cross (Crux).
Cone Nebula. A distinctive nebula located in the constellation of Monoceros.
NGC 55. A barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Sculptor about 6.5 million light years from Earth.
NGC 2004. An area of nebulosity surrounding the globular cluster NGC2004 and rich in Hydrogen Alpha (Ha) and Oxygen III.
Cometary Globule CG12. A cloud of dust and gas located in the constellation of Centaurus approximately 2,200 light years away.
RHO Ophiuchus Cloud Complex. A bright and colourful area of gas and dust traversing the constellations of Ophiuchus and Scorpius.
NGC6188. A widefield image of gas and dust in the constellation of ARA.
Orion Widefield. A ten degree field of view image capturing the magnificence of the great Orion nebula and surrounding areas.

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.
