Next Project: dual image acquisition with EdgeHD 11 SCT and SkyW 200pds Newtonian

Revision title: EdgeHD 11 OSC image

Trying to increase integration time of very short 3h nights (latitude 52N) and making use of having 2 scopes and mounts now I entered my next project íncreasing complexity :-)

I will update this post with images produced by the setup as I move along.

EdgeHD 11 2800mm focal length
AM5 mount
ASI2600mc
Filterwheel with L-Enhance and Askar D2
OAG with Asi220mm guiding
AsiAir plus for control

and

SkyWatcher 200pds with 1000 focal length
HEQ5 mount
ASI2600mm
Filterwheel with LRGB
OAG with Asi224mc guiding
AsiAir plus for control

Learnings so far:
- incredible increase of effort
=> I hope routine will take care of that
- herding cats to get both scope in time setup, flats taken, focussed, fine tuned and exact target position planned
=> hopefully settled with routine
- combining 2800mm with 1000mm at least sucks, if not impossible
=> hoping that the 0.7x reducer for the Edge + a 2x barlow would make integration easier
- PixInsight is a diva refusing to acccept flats and darks per scope in one WBPP go
- my wobbling wood deck on my roof terrace is a nightmare if you have to go back to one of the scopes killing the images of the other as well
=> full automation is the only solution here
- so far images do not look promising enough, as I rather get a wide field and a closeup than one integrated image

Any experiences, tipps or dead end warnings I should consider would be most welcome :-)

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.
