Seagull nebula - RASA 8 - full moon - pretty much first light

This is the first out of four data sets, that I have manage to take over three separate nights, with this one being at full moon. The speed at which this RASA 8 scope soaks up the photons is amazing, and whilst the raw stacked master was swamped with huge light gradients because of the moon's casting, I am really pleased with what I managed to get out of the data. I would like to think that my processing has improved since I last imaged this iconic object, but even so there is no way any other scope I have, would have got this data in 1.25 hours! Yes, all it was, was 25 subs at 3 minutes long each, using a duo band filter. I look forward to using my mono 294 with this set up, but I am starting off slowly. Hoping you like it everyone, and I have enclosed a picture of the scope too. Have a good night. Simon

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.
