Last run after Orion Great Nebula without mount !

VERSION D : same session latter on, iso set at 16000, 20 frames staged ; cleaner version, less artifacts and better pinpoint stars, with maybe little less details in the nebula itself, possibly due to more air turbulence - what do you think ?

VERSION C : adding 2 frames, correcting misalignment, adding more tweaking to get the best possible balance between the many factors into account ; after this only a flat frame could improve the quality of this session.

So... This past night I planned to check out one last time what can come out of the simplest of set-ups : a Nikon D750 with 300mm on a tripod, just shooting and staging frames at very high iso (12800). First try, I miss-aligned one out of 22 frames (I did it again!) but the goal here is really more of a technical nature... and I'm quite pleased with this picture. Just a bunch of 1.3 second frames and here we go.

VERSION B : interesting to notice how on Astrotools (here a screen capture, mow res'), the micro-contrasts work better than on Nebulosity 3.1 !

Next week I'll start to learn how to use a 10 micron GM1000 monster...

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.
