IC 1805, "Inside the Heart” without the stars (Carlo Caligiuri)

IC 1805, "Inside the Heart” without the stars

I was looking for some frames recorded in 2022 and I found these. Sincerely I don’t remember why I didn’t process this image. Maybe, I thought that 34 frames weren’t enough to get some good data without getting a noisy result and because there was a tilt problem that still now makes me crazy due to the poor quality of Skywatcher Focusers…

Little note on Skywatcher focuser.
I wish ti knew who designed it, just to make them notice that putting tilt screws under the focuser mechanism, in a way that you need to disassembly everything for setting the right tilt, isn’t a brilliant idea…
Ok, i can understand, the scope is cheaper than the others and probably you do not get an high salary, but please: sometimes put the eye on real things and not only on a digital copy from a CAD of some sort! I don’t think a Nobel Prize winner is necessary for that! I’m not graduated yet but these things really motivate me to get a degree in Engineering. Now I’m saying to myself: If anybody else can do it why Carlo, should't do it!!!!

So I started from scratch the whole processing and I have to admit that result surprised me a lot despite the camera used in the session is an entry level as the Canon 1100D.

I decided to post the starless version because, in my opinion the details are coming out better. Anyway I posted both, the stars color is good and I love to see all that colourful far stars…

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.
