Why Astrophotography?

We are 'blind' to the Deep Universe because our eyes can only perceive 0.0035% of the electromagnetic spectrum. This very small range of wavelengths is known as 'visible light' and during the 'dark hours,' it is even less so due to the ever-increasing light pollution.Imagine we could see more of all those magnificent 'divine works of art' that the Universe has presented since the dawn of time, connecting us to our origin and destiny; the basic principles of universal consciousness

Through Astrophotography, I try to make people aware of this fantastic spectacle. But actually, the true intention is to unlock the visible Universe again and thereby try to reduce the gigantic light pollution on Earth, so that we, just like prehistoric man, can feel more connected to all the splendour that our natural environment has to offer. You will be amazed at the positive effect this has on all living organisms on Earth

A photographic mission… '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.
