Another image from the WSP2012.

This is an LLRGB image of 110:40:40:40 min exposure.

The image has been taken during two days and I had to remove the camera from the scope for collimation so the two sessions does not overlap exactly. I have made a crop, but still at full res of about 0.64arcsec/pix. The imaging scope is an Officina Stellare UCRC320 at f5.4 The camera used is a QSI 683WSG with an Starlight Xpress Lodestar camera for guiding on a Paramount MX Mount.

The very down right corner of the image has poor NSR due to not overlapping frames. Filters used are the Astrodon gen II.

Thanks for watching.

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.
