TerryMcK Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap201228.htmlIt may be just me but this picture has lots of red halos around the stars. I'm surprised it got an APOD as it is easy to correct. Maybe it is the AP's trademark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 The submission standards must be slipping at APOD as I've found another one a few days earlier with blue halos!https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap201226.htmlI'm probably becoming over picky.

AstronomyUkraine Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Posted by: @TerryMcK It may be just me but this picture has lots of red halos around the stars. I'm surprised it got an APOD as it is easy to correct. Maybe it is the AP's trademark!It appears the image has more problems than just red halos. The stars look blown to me, and the nebula has a plastic look to it. Probably too much noise reduction. Still a good image though, and one I would be proud to have taken.

Stub Mandrel Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'm not a regular visitor to APOD, but I noticed those haloes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkulin Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hmm, seen loads better than them, maybe they are trying to give everyone a chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazAstro Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I find it strange that they don't publicise capture details ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkulin Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Yep Gary, if people don't publish capture details then I move on and with Astrobin if the images are taken with someone else data or they have paid to download the data or even used professional data then I don't give them a second glance.
