It has been a long time since I uploaded a mono image. This one is of the Crescent Nebula. Conditions have been deplorable lately, so I didn't have much hope for a single night sandwiched between cloudy evenings. I got lucky and the wind died down and seeing was at least fair. A 94% Moon limited me to Ha. Most of the galaxies that are in good positions to start a project are small with slight Ha emissions. So I decided to wait until Cygnus rose above the mire of the horizon (about midnight). I was able to let the rig run until morning and am pleased with the result--usually when I try this focus drift ruins the last couple of hours. I am looking forward to collecting lots more Ha and OIII data (maybe even some RGB for teh stars).

You are on a Free account, and when you delete an image, your upload counter does not decrease (unless the image is deleted within 24 hours of uploading it). The Free account is not a way to keep your most recent or best 10 images on AstroBin, but a trial period for you to decide whether or not a paid subscription is worth it.

The image will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. All its revisions will be deleted too. Are you sure?
You will delete all other revisions (if any), and the originally uploaded image, leaving the current revision as the final and only version of this image.

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.
