Orion Over Lake Michigan, Late Summer, Early Morning

One of the things I like about the overlook where I live is the peace and quiet, while listening to the waves crashing against the bluff with Orion high in the eastern sky and a beautiful moon. I took this shot of just 6x 120 second images, via a quick stack processed in Astro Pixel Processor, which some of our early arrivals were able to see a frame of on my tablet in color.

Sometimes in our haste to develop the perfect picture, I think we neglect to just post and enjoy what we can see. So with a record low amount of time spent on processing this, just 15 minutes, I wanted to post in that spirit to encourage more like it. To hold on to images sometimes is to not share something enjoyable, and an experience - in this case, our first early look at the Orion nebula over Lake Michigan at 3:30am, as I set up for Comet Nishimura. Early arrivals to our star party were able to see 1 120 second image projected on my tablet as I acquired the frames, and it was a lot of fun.

This image is 6x 120 second frames.

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.
