Having had no time for imaging recently, and working on some good data from the last winter star party, I've found this in the 2012 wst folder. Not a very deep acquisition indeed but, still interesting. The image comes out from two very different dataset. The base image was been acquired with an Officina Stellare Veloce RH200 f3 coupled with a prototype Stalight XPress one shot color ccd on an Avalon mount. It consist of only 3 frames of 30 min each. The second datasaet comes from an Officina Stellare RiFast 400mm f3.8 with a FLI ML 11002 ccd and was only luminance. The scope was on a Paramount ME guided in parallel with a Borg 125mm refractor with a Sbig STV. Exposures was 8 5min each. This is the result using All the images as luminance and the Starlight ones as colors. Total exposure time is about 2.15 hours. The image is a full res crop in bin1x1 as it comes out from the Veloce telescope.

Thanks!

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.
