NGC 1955 and Neighbors

This is the first of a few images I was able to capture during my trip to NSW, Australia. How exciting to see stars in person that I have never seen before. Truly amazing. This was a leaning mobile imaging experience for me. Making sure everything ran off portable batteries I could fly with, packing everything to survive the flights to and from, remembering all the little cables and details that are a shelf away at home, but a half a world away if forgotten.

While on inspection of the images once home, I can see where I need to improve, I am still pretty pleased with how they are turning out. Hope to be posting more in the next couple days.

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.
