M3 - NGC5272 - LRGB - Globular Cluster under non-ideal conditions

Had an average seeing night with below average transparency and a full moon to work with - challenge accepted. Used the time to further tune my new FLT132 guiding and exposure tolerances. M3 was on my bucket list for sake of doing and a fine target for a mediocre seeing night. It is also in season. Figured out my minimum SNR auto star select levels were way too low in PHD2. Adjusted that and a couple other PHD2 settings that were more optimal for this rig. Still not comfortable leaving this scope to go all night on it's own. New 2 inch risers will be added soon to make meridian flips less of a tripod collision prospect. The EFW were rotated 90 degrees, so no issues this time.

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.
