This was a first test of my newly built and improved equipment for mobile use. I have owned the Star Adventurer for a long time and have used it with my Canon 700Da before. But especially in the warm summer nights the image noise became overwhelming...

So I decided to go for a cooled CMOS with a large colour sensor, which is very easy to operate with an ASIAIR via mobile phone and at the same time made the SA guidable. The mount itself got an even more stable wooden tripod and the clamps for the declination block were replaced by higher quality ones.

A few days ago the time had come: Everything in the living room was set up ready, carried out with one hand, aligned to Polaris and the first test started. For only 2 hours exposure time I am really satisfied with the result. Great, how the dust between the bright H-Alpha areas shows up. I kept M42 extra bright to emphasize the huge dynamic differences in this region.

I am very satisfied with the first light and hope that this combination (easy to transport, easy to operate and quick to use) will give me a lot of fun in the future. :-)

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.
