I embarked on my astrophotography journey back in 2016, initially capturing the mesmerizing beauty of the Milky Way using my trusty Canon 6D during occasional mountain getaways. However, the tides shifted with the onset of the Covid pandemic, as my work transitioned to full-time remote, affording me more opportunities to escape the bustling city.

At the dawn of 2022, I took a significant leap in my astrophotography endeavors by modifying my DSLR camera for astrophotography and acquiring a Redcat 51 telescope. The entire year was a thrilling rollercoaster of cosmic exploration, leaving me exhilarated and committed to this newfound passion. As fate would have it, in January, I seized the chance to purchase an Astro-Physics 92 Stowaway telescope from a fellow enthusiast in France.With unwavering determination, I embarked on assembling my dream astrophotography setup, which I proudly completed in April. However, Mother Nature had her own plans, subjecting me to the most relentless weather conditions I can recall. Despite the adversities, a brief two-week window opened up in August, allowing me to test my new telescope. The image I'm sharing today is one of my first captures using this equipment. While it may not be a masterpiece, it symbolizes the beginning of an exciting journey filled with endless learning opportunities.I sincerely hope you derive as much joy from viewing this image as I did from capturing it. Rest assured, this is just the beginning of a lifelong commitment to exploring the wonders of the cosmos.

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.
