Just an idea, how accurate is the value of the "own observatory" or "amature hosting facility"? I mean I can also buy some images from telescope live, then puplic them here and claim that they are from my backyard with my own telescope? Nobody can verify that. 

Its not the point to prove anything, but that just came in my mind

Would it make it more likely to win if you market it as your own? I think not. Besides, most of the experienced guys here would be able to tell the difference.

But if IOTD is really about showing AB wares, then maybe the comittee can be freed up regarding images' technical superiority, or any specific criteria and simply "show AstroBin's wares".  I.e. AstroBin for the users: "...a way to record data about astrophotography, keep your gallery, and social network with others..."


In a way this is done already, since the final IOTD selection is not anonymous. Meaning, judges are aware of who the imager is, how the image was taken, etc. The judges are not beholden to select an image purely based on technical superiority and I suspect, frequently don't.  They can take other considerations into account. There have been innumerable discussions about why image X made IOTD when they technically superior image Y did not. The purpose of the TP/TPN filter is to make sure that the images that are eligible for IOTD meet a certain standard.

Indeed! We don't want to open that can of worms as well as this one! 

In fact, that discussion is older than Astrobin. It was a topic way back in the early 2000s regarding the NASA  APOD!

And it will never end, as astrophotography has an artistic and subjective component. It’s impossible to grade and sort all astrophotographs objectively, especially when they depict different objects.
