NGC 1499 @ H-Alpha

Before the beautiful days came to an end, I had used the second half of the night for astrophotography. Quick & Dirty with no frills. Camera aimed at the mount object and then it started. No autoguiding without a lot of cables. Simply only with viewfinder and cable release (timer). That was very liberating

NGC 1499 was easy to find. At the top left in the fog, dust or something similar seems to be evaporating from a hole. I haven't noticed yet!

Bevor die schönen Tage zu ende gehen, hatte ich die zweite Nachthäfte genutzt für die Astrofotografie. Quick & Dirty ohne viel schnickschnack. Kamera auf die Montierung Objekt angepeilt und dann ging es los. Kein Autoguiding, ohne viele Kabel. Einfach nur mit Sucher und Kabelauslöser (Timer). Das war mal ganz befreiend

NGC 1499 war einfach zu finden. Oben Links im Nebel scheint aus einem Loch Staub oder ähnliches sich zu verflüchtigen. Ist mir bisher noch nicht aufgefallen!

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.
