This image shows the sun rising behind the Cape Byron Lighthouse in Australia, the most easterly point on the mainland and the first location for spectators to see the light of a new day (now that the nearby Mt Warning has been permanently shut to visitors ... grrrrr

)

Sunspot regions 3140, 3141 and 3142 can be seen on the left side of the sun.

This is a still frame from a video taken with a ZWO ASI294MM Pro camera attached to my Saxon ED127 refractor with Baader Solar film on the front.

I was 5km away from the lighthouse and used Photopills to predict the shooting location and Google Earth and an XGPS-160 aircraft grade GPS to find that location on on the beach.

The monochrome RAW video frames were extracted as 3400 TIF images from the .SER video file, processed in Adobe Lightroom and re-assembled back into video using Adobe Premiere.

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.
