This is a new image acquired during the Madonie star party at the beginning of July 2013. A brend new telescope is been used for this High res shot, the new OS RiDK 305 f8 OTA. The seeing was very good during the two days of the star party, always between 1.3" and 1.8". Despite the telescope diameter of "just" 305mm, with the use of a small pixels ccd camera (using an 8300, 5.4microns/pixel sensor), a scale plate of 0.44arc/sec/pix was been achieved, revealing the full potential of this optics.

The shot is been acquired during the two nights and is an LLRGB+Ha+OIII image of about 270 min total in bin 1x1.

Optics was Officna Stellare RiDK305 f8 on a GM2000HPS mount with a QSI WSG8 ccd camera using a Lodestar guide camera.

Thanks.

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.
