After acclimating well my C14 Edge with the new Cool Edge I received from Starizona, I realized that by placing back the secondary again I made a carelessness and lost collimation. Less evil, for it was time I was not careful collimation, thus devoted more than an hour to perform a good test star.

After a good acclimatization and careful collimation I made the photo attached, a night with seeing average to good (3.5 / 5) and immediately decided to put aside the usual description of the formation and in the company of my friend Rafael Compassi do a resolution calculation.

We came to the conclusion that smaller craters clearly visible in this picture is about 800m in diameter which give a resolution of around 0.4". However craters about 500m are still visible as white spots although not look like craters, they can still be identified, this would give us the astonishing resolution 0.3" that would be very close to the maximum theoretical resolution for C14 (0.2" arc) in privileged seeing places which is not my case.

I believe that I can be happy with the photo obtained and conclude that to get better it would have to be that night in which everything conspires in favor to give us an unforgettable seeing.

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.
