Attempt at longer integration time here. This is an uncomplete photo where goal is ~35 hours total integration. slight rotation of camera yielded a smaller than desired view. Softer processing with higher integration seems to provide much better results on the eye! Haven't been able to get more than 2 hours of Oiii due to full moon while acquiring the Ha and Sii subs. Also a bit of star blotching, I believe because of low integration and low data of Oiii and Sii. Taken at F7.5, and realizing that this in combination with slightly sporadic guiding (mostly backlash I feel) of the AVX mount limits sub exposures to about 10 minutes. Could probably push to 15 minutes but would have to trash many more frames. AVX seems to be guiding relatively well compared to other reports however, with ASIAIR multi star guiding, typically can achieve average of 0.7 arcsec from bortle 8 sky shooting right through Denver light pollution (to the north). Higher quality mount would be awesome, but the AVX seems to be holding up decent for a budget mount!

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.
