NGC 6188 with my grab-and-go travel equipment

This image was obtained in may 2023 with a grab-and-go equipment. It is quite impressive what you may get with the Askar FMA180 (a barely 40mm refractor lens), the ZWO 533MC Pro on the SW Star Adventurer and a standard phto tripod. Everything will fit in your hand luggage, or a limited portion of your car trunk such that your family will not even notice you are taking this rig on vacation with you. It took only 2 and 1/2 hours of exposure at single 60secs frames (no guiding required) to decently resolve the dragons.

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.
