Wide Field Triplet and Friends Frst light

This is the true QHY268-M-PH first light. Originally I shot 1 hour of L in two ways: gain=56, 60x60sec and gain=0, 20x180sec. When I compared (very similar total flux) I preferred the way a small chain of tiny faint galaxies on right side above NGC 3593 and to right showed. The chain varies between mag 17 and mag 20... So I stayed with the 180sec gain=0 subs and got a total of 90 min each total RGB and L. This one has more detail and faint stuff than I would expect for only 3 hours total with a small 150mm scope. I'm not used to so few subs! Still not sure if i'll stay at gain=0 or use gain=56 / 60sec for RGBL. Other read modes to test but clear sky is just too rare to check everything.

Thanks for much for looking!

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.
