Hello Friends,

After a long, long time I finally a real DeepSky picture. Due to the many shift work and all the stress, I was always without motivation to do anything. Don't get me wrong, your pictures motivate me a lot, but I often come home very exhausted and unable to do anything. So I finally managed to do a SHO after a long time. I've wanted to try this for so long. I'm really happy that I'm a proud owner of a monochrome camera and that I got the right filters cheaply. Thank you again Ruediger.

I recorded this SHO over 3 nights. I was only able to use one NB filter each night because I got home late from work and there was still time for 20 frames per filter. Then the nebula disappeared behind a tree.
I hope you like my SHO and give me advice on what I could possibly do differently.

#Enjoy it.
CS Christian

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.
