WR134 is a rarely photographed object. I decided to try to photograph it.
But can it be done from a middle of my city? And if so, could I?

I like challenges and I take on things that seem pointless (I don't know if that was the case here)... and I did.

The plan was to collect 20 hours of frames.

I started with a few frames under the foggy bortle 4. Something was visible ... but not much.
The rest was taken only from the city (bortle 8), from my balcony...

Finally, after a lot of nerves, I made a decision to stop.

I took a total of 355x300s, but in the end, the following took part in the photos:

Redcat 51 +Canon 1100d full spectrum (ISO800)
ASiair +EAF
SW Star Adventurer +guiding (Angeleyes 32mm/F4 + ASI120MM mini)
Antlia ALP-T Dual Band 5nm Ha+OIII (Golden Filter) 2”: 279x300s =23h 15min
Calibration frames x50
Bortle 8 and few frames on bortle 4
PixInsight (drizzle x2)

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.
