Another image from my trip to Chile - same technique as for the Magellanic clouds, i.e. 150 subs untracked, exposure time 6 seconds. This time focusing on the wider Galactic center region

Title: reprocessed thanks to new tools

Description: owing to the lack of new data (the past two month hardly any star made it through the clouds) I had to resort to reprocessing. But there are also new tools available for my wide field shots from earlier this year: PixInsight renewed the registration procedure which for highly distorted field gave much better results. BXT2.0 helped to tackle the distorition of this 50mm Samyang lens pretty well, resulting in a much better corrected image overall. And allowed me to add some of the data taken wide open.

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.
