Testing the C11 and the Starizona on the new EQ8, with a new TS M68 OAG. Need to tweak the OAG distance / focus and the Starizona distance. According to Starizona the Corrector/Sensor distance should be 134.5mm but currently @ 139,5mm also unsure on sensor 'squareness' to the focal axis.

C11 resulting focus = 2010mm @ F7,2

There was a 77% Moon almost hiding the famous galaxy

Full Frame View no cropping

Also 'first' of the L-Pro Nikon T-Ring with integrated LPS filter

I used ISO400 for a change, but I don't see much advantage in it, probably going to change back to ISO800 next time.

This image was scaled 75% (@ full resolution)

Continued testing of the optical train and OAG ; border slightly cropped
Several reflections visible no doubt from the Optolong LPS, not sure what is the source : Lyra star or M57 itself

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.
