A Plethora of Poor Precipitous Planet Pictures

I took all of these in one night - Sep 18, 2020. Not a night of great seeing, but it was the weekend, so I did not have to work the next day. These are in order of appearance.

I realized early on that seeing was not great, so it was all about the challenge of finding and videoing each world as I had the chance. With the C11 at 5600mm, I knew I would need a method to acquire the planets quickly. I mounted an unused 420mm refractor with the T5i on the top rail, and used it to plate solve my way to the ice giants Neptune and Uranus. It worked really well! There was no blind searching around hoping to accidentally stumble on these planets.

I made the classic mistake of not restricting the ROI on the camera, and so ended up with several 40GB files of a tiny blue and green dot. I filled my hard drive right up, and Windows started to complain, so I dumped the video files to a USB drive.

Not the best photos, but I achieved the goal of getting them all !

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.
