The live EAA image was decidedly inferior so I pulled the raw FITS files and did a bit of post-processing myself. This is not wonderful and I'm seeing starkly the limitations of this device, but it's still an excellent party trick and I will continue to try it on bright easy objects. Several problems that I've noticed: PixInsight cannot do a plate solve! The stated coordinates in the meta data are way off , it seems. Stars seem way overblown even at 10 second sub-exposures. EAA is limited for all but the brightest and easiest objects. Limited control over the capture and stacking. Tracking seems only average. PixInsight crops the result severely. It's still convenient to use for the non-serious AP event, but not stellar (no pun intended) for the avid astrophotographer. I will continue to use it for demonstrations and public events.

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.
