After months of bad weather here in the Vienna/Austria area, I was finally able to do a first test of both the Minitrack LX3 and the Tamron 35/1.4mm on an astromodded Canon EOS550D (Rebel T2i) .

Unfortunately it was a windy night with rather bad seeing, clouds passing over repeatedly and - on top of everything - extremely light sky background due to light pollution.

Ultimately, there were only 24min of usable data and it took some effort to somewhat reduce the gradients (partly caused by passing clouds) and making at least part of this gigantic emission nebula complex show up (given the short exposure), fiddling in DPP/DSS/Fitswork and Gimp. Still, in the end, for a first try with this highly mobile setup, I'm quite happy.

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.
