"rejection for intellectual property reasons" was the rejection reason for an astrofotography image of IC5070 I took several weeks ago. Who would be declared as owner of this property?

 

 

This is the picture. It’s a RGBSHO Image taken with a QHY268m and processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop. No genAi used - just denoise and deconvolution.

 

Can someone help me understand why such a picture is rejected with the reason “intellectual property”?

Thx SK

    It is because such photos are rarely taken by private persons. Just fill out a property release signed by yourself as the owner and it should get excepted.

    They probably assumed you got it from NASA or JWST. 

    The Property Release form can be found below.
