Testing new ASI 294 MM Pro-Ha-BIN 2:2

Having cloudy skies for few days, I decided to test my new ASI 294 MM Pro with APO. I switched to NINA for DSO and upgraded to Sharp Cap 4.0 (having all ASI cameras natural drivers). My first impression is very positive. Camera is cooling really fast in comparison with previous aged ASI 1600, it reached pick -35 below ambivalent temperature in few minutes. I prefer to cool down camera outside for 15-20 minutes BEFORE starting the program to avoid condensation and ice forming on the matrix (reported by few camera's users). Works good with NINA (I need to learn about this wonderful program a lot, so many features and options available), NINA uses ASI native driver, you can change gain and offset setting in the program without ASCOM' driver, very convenient. I downloaded updated version of SharpCap 4.0 (64- bit), very impressive program, new features, also uses ASI native drivers.
Gain 120, offset 30, temper.-5C. I imaged 295 shots, 9,5 sh. per second, SharpCap, processed in Autostakkert and Registax, POS photo Editor and Fitswork (noise blurring).

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.
