My 2022 in a pic (Massimo Di Fusco)

My 2022 in a pic

My first full year of astrophotography is ending and it's time to recap it (also because I like doing statistics) and I wanted to do it with a collage in which I collected some of my shots.
2022 was certainly a very rich year from an astrophotographic point of view. In fact, I managed to complete 82 images, starting from the Horsehead Nebula in January up to the M81/M82/NGC3077 trio of a few days ago, accumulating a total of 708 hours, 33 minutes and 10 seconds of shots (not counting the discarded ones). A Lot of stuff for just one year!
All this dedication has inevitably brought me (by the law of large numbers 😅) also many satisfactions and recognitions. In particular, an article published on Coelum, 29 APODs on various websites (15 on astronomia.com, 7 on AAPOD2, 6 on APODGrAG and 1 on astronomy.com) and 34 pictures included in the astrophotography swctions of different magazines (25 on Coelum, 8 on Cosmo and 1 on Amateur Astrophotography).
In addition to this, I took part at the FOTONICOntest#4 and ShaRA project (still in progress), both organized by my friend Alessandro Ravagnin, with whom we brought home 6 wonderful remote images from the dark sky of Chile.
Maybe I forgot something in the total count but what I don't forget are the many people I met in this spectacular year with whom I shared (and continue to share) opinions on both acquisition and processing techniques. I think the only way to grow in this passion is sharing, without that it becomes a sterile practice.

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.
