Starfield Centred on IC155

For the past few weeks I have been preparing for my Orion window. I had a whole plan of what I wanted to do, but that was torpedoed when the RASA no longer wanted to play ball with a myriad of tilt issues. I had to call in the RedCat to fill in which had tilt issues of its own.

Now instead of doing a four panel mosaic of Orion with the RASA, it will be two panel mosaic with the RedCat. Oh well. At least the FoV will be bigger!

I spent a few nights out in -15c to -20c screwing around with the tilt plate on the RedCat. Once I thought I had it I decided to run it through some kind of acid test and this is the result!

I have heard bad things in regards to the L-Pro and what it does to star colours so I think I made it work. I wanted to get more integration time into this however the trees had other ideas. The basic strategy was to start at long sub exposures and step it down all the way to maybe 30 or 10 second sub exposures and combine those stacks into a HDR image. Ah well, maybe next time. The important thing is the field looks alright.

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.
