Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

With the frosty moment of 2020/2021 winter it was a pleasure to capture... oh no, it wasn't. Smog was awful!

Test of the 178 mm with the budget GSO C8! With ambient temperatures in the range of -15 to -20 deg C the equipment did really well. Unfortunately the prettiest of winter is connected with the AWFULEST of smog.

CS and clean air!

PS. 4% of 20000 frames. 100 ms 70% histogram per frame.

Description: I still wasn't happy with minor stacking artifacts left over from the alignment tiles! Decided to reprocess it (took hours) using the global method. To vex @Loxley even more, I've decided to only take WHOLE FRAMES (global method) and also INCREASED the stack to 6% of 20k frames to prove that 100 ms is doable :D

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.
