What was the experience

Had a hard time getting the PA set up ok. Summer night glow made it difficult. Then even had a couple of bumps against the tripod, because of not being careful enough. In spite of all this, Tracking was good enough for 300s. Only managed to get 30subs in the summer night glow. However, only 19 stacked. Halfway through the session, the Dec started sliding off apparently. Because some of the frames were way off, There’s a dark overlay band at the bottom, but I didn’t want to crop the image, as that would’ve meant losing too much of NGC 7000. Planning more data to recover from this.

How it was done

Mount: iOptron SkyGuider Pro

Guiding: ASIAIR Pro, ZWO30F4, ASI120MM (RA guiding only)

Scope: WO RedCat 51

Camera: ASI183MC Pro

Resolution: 1,98”/pixel

FoV 218’

Filter: Optolong L-Extreme

Moon n/a, Bortle 5/6

Processing: Siril - Extracting Ha and OIII, recombining as HHOO into LRGB, Adobe Photoshop - (Mac)

NGC 7000 - Gain 125, cooling -10, 300s, 30x

Darks 11x - from previous take,, to remove the amp glow)

What have I learned from this

Summer nights are difficult

Clear Skies everybody! 🤩✨🔭

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.
