Last image from astrocamp 2013.

This is mostly the result of some integration time made in this August astrocamp. Some more exposure time is been added from 2012 astrocamp using the same equipment. Finally a little bit of integration I've acquired with another telescope at an higher resolution an focal lenght is also been included. The result is an RGB image of about 120:120:120. I've made a syntetic luminance using the sum of the RGB colors and I've also added 30 more extra minutes of Ha data taken from the city this year.

The gears used are: Takahashi Epsilon 210 f3 telescope on a Astrophysics Match1 GTO mount with a QSI 683 WSG8 ccd camera using Astrodon gen.2 filters (5nm Ha). Guided woth a Starlight Xpress Lodestar camera.

The other setup was an Officina Stellare UCRC320 f5.4 on a Paramount MX with a FLI microline 11K sensor using Astrodon gen. 2 filters guided with a Starlight Xpress Lodestar camera (he contribution was only 30:30:30: RGB.

Thanks for watching!

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.
