This year has been very busy in terms of improvements to AstroBin, and thenew equipment database was the largest code change ever deployed inAstroBin's 11 years online.

The revision and gallery "quick browser"
Improvements to search by catalog objects
Lots of new search filters related to the new equipment database
Image collaborations
October 2022 update
Thanks to the massive success of the new equipment database, which now extends to over 80% of AstroBin images (thank you all who migrated your equipment!) I was able to finally release a bunch of new search filters on AstroBin, and I think this is pretty awesome!

August 2022 update
During the past couple of months the new equipment database rolled out to all users, and I've been monitoring the progress of the migration. At the time of writing, 74.77% of AstroBin images have at least partial coverage of the new equipment database, and this is a massive success! 🎉
July 2022 update
As you may know, I have worked on modernizing the AstroBin equipment database for 1 year now, in order to solve the issues with duplication and fragmentation of data (please read more here). This has made the last 12 months very, very busy, but this process was in my bucket list for over 5 years now, and the community voted that this was the most wanted feature in 2020.The AstroBin Equipment Database is a highly collaborative community effort based on a peer review system, that allows the long-term preservation of information about all equipment items used in astrophotography.
