Revision title: M106

Recent experiment on M106. I was having trouble getting my calibration frames to do their job on the 294mm. So switched up some gain settings (thanks Wim van Berlo facebook group suggestion) and flat acquisition (lower ADU). Calibration worked better with these settings. Had to work harder on the noise however.

Esprit120, 1x flattener, CEM70, evoguide50, zwo 290mini, Asi Air Plus
Zwo 294mm
112x120s Lum, 0 gain, -10c, bin2
25x180s R gain 50, -10c, bin2
37x180s G gain 50, -10c, bin2
18x180s B gain 50, -10c, bin2
125x180s Ha gain 200, -10c, bin2
Taken over 2 nights. Night 1 poor transparency and seeing, night 2 average on both

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.
