Revision title: Processed in SIRIL

Taken with my Pentax zoom lens 200mm f5.6, this comprises just over 4 hours data with my CMOS camera, L-eNhance, and new Star Adventurer mount. I used 5 min guided subs.

Overall the mount performs well, but there is slight drifting and the stars lower right are awful, a result of poor optical alignment. I dithered every 5 frames in PHD but some residual walking noise remains.

Nevertheless I’m pleased with the performance of this little mount, and with the depth and colour in my final image, considering we only have nautical darkness and a bright moon. Fine tuning the setup will reveal better detail.

Rev A is processed in Nebulosity 4 with levels and curves - it feels cleaner and a little sharper. Rev B in Startools as OSC, and Rev C as HOO duoband, with 85% stretch, and standard workflow. Your comments are very welcome.

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.
