Meanwhile, Somewhere in the Milky Way...

This is my first real try with my used Esprit 120ED. There were several good nights in June 2022 to collect data from my backyard. Leaving the scope under a cover by day undisturbed really makes things easier. The summer is difficult though, finding a spot in my yard where it will remain safe from teenage parties.

The CEM60 guiding is still really good. Since I cleaned the mount last winter and started using 'z axis' balancing it is performing very well. NINA starts the imaging in the evening and stops in the morning automatically. When I blink through the images the next day I don't have to discard any subs! This is so different to previous years.

Learning new ways to do things makes this hobby so satisfying!

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.
