This is first light in a test series of images for the RC10 telescope to discover which of the reducer/flattener's I own works best with this OTA. This image was captured using a Skywatcher .85 reducer/flattener for the SW 100ED. I think this pairing is a winner. This is a lightly cropped image with good stars in the corners of the 2600mcPro.
This is also the first time I have used this OTA after collimation with a Howie Glatter Laser Collimator.
The stack is thin on overall time, my goal was equipment evaluation...
This is the madden voyage of a new mounting. A Software Bisque MyT mount. I purchased this mounting 14 months ago and used it once without success. I built Nicholas Observatory for this mounting to have a permanent home. I think I am going to really like this mounting after I get over the learning curve of the The SkyX and TCS software's...

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.
