M37 - Open Cluster in the constellation Auriga (LRGB)

Link: http://sternwarte-wasserberg.de/

Referring to Wikipedia, Messier 37 (also known as NGC 2099) is the richest open cluster in the constellation Auriga and also the brightest of three open clusters in the whole constellation.

The open star clusters are often more or less "ignored" by us astrophotographers. Nevertheless I like them, if you take your time and look at how many stars are in a relatively small area…

Furthermore, such a star-rich area is very good to test the image quality of the own equipment: I was interested in my new camera, which has the large 16200 CCD chip from Kodak. Compared to my CCD with a smaller chip, the field of view is much larger. So of course the requirements for a precise collmination and an also the complete illumination of the large chip is increasing again. I was pleased to see that the camera harmonizes wonderfully with my 10 inch Newtonian.

Unfortunately the conditions were very unstable, so that the stars in the color channels did not match for 100 percent. But all in all I am very happy about the result and look forward to the next sessions! :-)

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.
