June 18, 2020 - NGC4565 - Needle Galaxy

Recently I switched to a higher focal length setup which is the same telescope that is the Celestron EdgeHD 9.25" but used a 0.7x reducer setup which gave me a 1624mm FL instead of the Hyperstar 540mm FL, one thing for sure is the higher the FL the more trouble you will have and all the mistakes that I had with the Hyperstar setup simply got magnified where the image quality became useless, with that said I've learned a lot and managed to fix all my problem which made my setup much more accurate.

By the time I figured out all my problems and started getting decent images the Galaxy season was almost over, so I managed to capture the only object that is high enough to get decent data which was the Needle Galaxy.

Setup:

Celestron EdgeHD 9.25"

Celestron 0.7x reducer

ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool Camera

Astronomik LRGB 2" filters

70mm Guidescope + ASI224 guide camera

IOptron CEM60 Mount

Hope you like it, this was my first 6 hours total integration, where I capture 60subx180sec of Lum and 20subx180sec for each of Red, Green and Blue, combined/edit it in PixInsight and Photoshop

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.
