Mars near opposition - First light C11

Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

Yes I broke my money-box to renew my equipment.

I told myself that we only had one existence (in principle..) and I didn't want to have any regrets.

I admit that I had a hard time tidying up my C8. I think I spent more nights with him than with my wife ha!ha!. I don't know if anyone other than me has ever felt this feeling of attachment to his material to the point of being nostalgic.

Well, this is my first image with the C11, and not everything went perfectly.

Like many of Celestron, he didn't enjoy the transport and I had to resume collimation in not very mild weather conditions at this time of year here.

After two evenings between the clouds and only one available star (Altaïr), most of the work was done (probably to improve).

Well, I'm not dissatisfied with this first test with quite strong turbulence, especially since for the first time Olympus Mons (iconic crater of Mars) is visible on the right limb as a clear task.

Technically, this is an LRGB image made from 5 2-minutes videos for L (IR) and 4 2-minutes videos per RGB channel (from 23:20 UT to 23:57 UT or 37 minutes of derotation).

I have retained 10,000 images out of a total of 170,000.

The luminance was achieved by retaining 30% of the IR channel and final treatment under WinJupos.

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.
