The 17 Days Old Moon in Color

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Honestly, it is not an excuse, the air was extremely humid and turbolent, yet the result is not that bad. The next imaging opportunity is written in the stars as a little typhoon is approaching. I consulted one of my dogs about continuing or closing the session. He sent a 'strong signal' at the foot of my mount tripod and I decided to continue.

The original image is a mosaic of 6 panels at FL=750mm. All images in the revision section are stacks of 400 best frames in raw-8 and 1.5x drizzled taken at FL=1500mm. Short exposures and high fps are critical when clouds are approaching fast. Then you cheer on your PC (and USB) as if it was a horse race - that lame duck.

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.
