Unexpected software issues prevented the use of my QSI 532ws astro camera so I grabbed my DSLR Nikon D750 and attached it to the following optics to create the collage. Initially dissappointed in not capturing Orion with the astrocamera and narrowband filters caused me to consider using different focal lengths to capture the always beautiful Orion nebula.
The center wide field image was taken with a 135 mm Nikor-Q fixed telephoto mounted on an Astro-Physics Mach 1 GTO mount. ISO 800 f 4, 120 Sec x 3
The image on the right of the Flame and Horsehead is a single 186 sec exposure, ISO 1270 taken with Celestron Edge 8 HD f 10, focal length 2030 mm on the same mount.
The image of M42 on the left 120 Sec x 4, ISO 800, Celestron Edge 8HD, f 10, focal length 2030 mm on the same mount.
All images were unguided. and processed in PixInsight

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.
