M33 My 3rd Iteration-See Description

I know this is my 3rd photo of this object. This is the result of 6hrs of integration in one night of imaging. The significance of this image of M33 is, it is the last image that I will take with the mount that I have possessed for almost 30 years, my LX200 drive unit for my 12” Meade SCT. I will be moving forward with a new ZWO AM5 mount. I never had a separate mount for my refractor so it had to piggyback on my LX200 mount along with my 12”. Which is how I have been taking the images with my Sky-Watcher 82ED Evolux refractor. Now I will be able to shoot with only the scope I want to use for my targets. Also looking forward to be able to get guided longer exposures to get that S/N ration up to separate the nebula of galaxy from the background noise, which I’ve never been able to do with my ancient mount, hence my short exposures. Time to start a new chapter in my astrophotography journey.

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.
