Testimage of the North America Nebula with my new TS Photoline 72 Doublet APO

This is a test image i captured on July 2nd 2018. It was a very clear night but i had limited time because the moon would illuminate the second half of the night and i didnt want to shoot in these conditions so i setup my Skywatcher Staradventurer around midnight and pointed my new TS Photoline 72mm Doublet APO on the North America Nebula to take the first image with the new scope. Also my Canon 1200D was recently modified and this night was the first clear one to test the new setup. I chose an ISO of 400 and exposed the image for 150 seconds. I was extremely pleased with the picture that came up on the screen.I didnt expect the images to be that sharp and the stars without CA. It was no problem at all to see the whole nebulosity and the position of the object in the frame. i was also super surprised how well the staradventurer could handle all the weight even without proper balance. In the next few days i will try a stack of this object with as much integration time as possible in these short summernights.

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.
