Horsehead with 130 PDS

This is the last object from my 130 PDS weekend last week.

As you may notice, some of the problems with this little newt are obvious in the image. The biggest is the tilting of the CC in the (original) focuser, resulting in double spikes and uneven focus across the FOV.

I wish I had had the opportunity to take some Ha data with the L-eNhanced too.

But in March, Orion is too far west and low for my observation site.

The Horse ends both the winter nebula season and the use of the 130 PDS.

For the galaxy season I am switching back to my fast 10" f/4 Newtonian and my new QHY 294mm.

I hope you have enjoyed the whole series with my baby Newton.I promise I will wake him up from his nap again soon ;-)

Regards

Mike

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.
