A Quick, 1-Hour Flyby Test: NGC 2392

Why just a quick flyby? Two reason:

1) This is a test as I had some recent technical issues which I finally got resolved. A light leak from the tilt adapter of my ASI6200MM was causing all sorts of problems. This is a known problem with the ZWO tilt adapter as the gasket does not always give a light-tight seal. This cost me 18 hrs worth of data before I realized what the issue was and how to resolve it.

2) Last night was not great, with winds gusting up to 10mph but the C11" and mount worked like champs. However, we have a week of bad weather forthcoming, so I decided to get what I can and enjoy the moment (well, 80 minutes).

I was really pleased with this short exposure time under my Bortle 7 sky, including below average seeing. I'm not sure I could expect much more given the circumstances. And soooo glad the light leak issue was identified and resolved.

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.
