TOA 130 with .7x reducer and STT-8300 with Astrodon series E filters.
18 10 min subs in each of RGB, and 27 10 min lum subs. An HaLRGB composition. Intermittant clouds and haze made this a frustrating shoot.

A semi HaLRGB. there is actually no Ha in the image, but I used a mask of the Ha regions made from an Ha stack and increased saturation of the Ha regions. At such a small sacle it amounts to the same thing....HaLRGB

Please note:
You are on a Free account, and when you delete an image, your upload counter does not decrease (unless the image is deleted within 24 hours of uploading it). The Free account is not a way to keep your most recent or best 10 images on AstroBin, but a trial period for you to decide whether or not a paid subscription is worth it.

You will delete all other revisions (if any), and the originally uploaded image, leaving the current revision as the final and only version of this image.
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.

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.
