Messier 7, Ptolemy's Cluster

Revision title: Revision 2 - Decon

Imaged over quite a number of nights Messier 7 made an excellent target in between DSO's taking short 5sec and 30sec exposures. The purpose was to try to achieve the highest resolution in the star field I could with the basic equipment I have (hence the 5sec luck imaging sub's) and pull out the bright M7 stars (hence the 30sec sub's). I did an aggressive cull on the data to remove any poor frames which resulted in a final 1384 sub's, consisting 998x 5sec and 386x 30sec

Title: Revision 2 - Decon

Description: I restacked the raw data with mulit-band blending to get a slightly wider field of view, and implemented a deconvolution step in the post processing to try to tighten the stars of the core, while still retaining a natural look and feel to the M7 stars.

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.
