After a few days of uninterrupted cloudiness, I get back and photograph the Orion Nebula again, two years after my last time, curious to see the result with an equipment quite different from back then and update my nebulae archive.
Compared to two years ago, I can now track and chase my targets, I own an autoguide system and a better camera with a modded sensor, and I also use a narrowband pro filter. However, I've come with the fact that the Orion nebula requires a different approach than usual, being definitively too bright for long exposures, despite the filter and a couple of stops less with the aperture. I shortened the light frames exposure to 60 seconds and still the heart of the nebula has got saturated at the highlights. I also had to tackle a few issues with guiding, not figuring out why, resulting in discarding several subs.

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.
