Sh2-245 Eridanus Loop and Hyades Widefield

The Eridanus Loop Sh2-245 is located west of the better known Baranards Loop.
However, it has a significantly weaker luminosity compared to the Barnards Loop.
Unfortunately, the fine molecular clouds were not accessible due to light pollution in the home garden.
So I had to drive a few kilometers into a dark rural area with batteries and equipment.
At the beginning of the two series of shots, the lower right corner of the image with the 45mm lens was just 17° above the ground.
I let the camera run until the ground slowly became visible in the image, resulting in noticeable color gradients that made image editing difficult.

You can only find a few pictures of Sh2-245 online.
My reference was the wonderful image by Gabriel R. Santos (Eridanus Loop: A Panorama of Stars and Nebulae @Gabriel R. Santos (grsotnas)

I operated the cameras with the two lenses on a dual mounting plate on the mount.

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.
