Lobster Claw, Bubble, Northern Lagoon, and many more, a Sharpless smorgasbord!

This is the first image I have tried with the asi2600MM on my 80mm refractor. I wanted to see if the image circle would cover the sensor with minimal vignetting, and it did nicely. I am also working on subframe times with the new camera. I am trying to find the nice balance between capturing as much emission as I can and not blowing out anything. This image it seems that I over did the exposures as the bubble is a little over exposed. I do like the amount of Hydrogen gas that was picked up in the background however!

This setup is the widest FOV I have used to date, so lots of experimenting to come. I like the wide field images, as they capture a nice variety of targets, and guiding is so much more forgiving!

I usually attempt a Hubble palate with my narrowband images, but I am starting to like the look of the more natural red colour over the gold of the Hubble versions.

Hope all are well!

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.
