The Torcross Eagle

Have been on a bit of a holiday to Devon. Stayed at Torcross which is a little village by the sea (the channel)

Torcross is about 3 degrees latitude further south than here in Leeds and Bortle 4 ( i think) as opposed to 8

Took my TS optics imaging star with the idea that i might be able to do some imaging (bought a Jackery 500 for power )

Set up in the car park by the slapton lay (a lake just behind the beach)

Pointed at M16 which i cant see from the house in Leeds

It was at about 20 degrees

All sorts of problems ... polar camera wouldn't connect ... turned pc off on and on again to fix , then guide camera wouldnt connect , or kept disconnecting

Tried a 60 second exposure in HA and it looked great so decided to go unguided

Was going to do 30 of each which just had about time to do but by time got to four 0iii after the Ha everything kept disconnecting

Was a bit creepy in the car park also ... the police turfed up to see what we were up to so given all the problems decided to call it a day

So this is 30 60 second Ha unguided and 4 x 60 seconds Oiii

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.
