NGC 4214 is a dwarf galaxy in a distance of about 10 million light years. It is not unlike the Large Magellanic Cloud and belongs to the M94/Canes-I-group. It is undergoing a starburst which leads to the nice structures of nebulae. The faint smudge in the bottom part of the image is DDO 113 (PGC 39145), a companion dwarf galaxy that has ceased forming stars. There are hundreds of backgrounds galaxies visible in this image.

This was first light for my new image train: A 10" Truss RC from CFF optics with an ASI2600MM. The optics are from GSO, because CFF has stopped sourcing mirrors of smaller than 12" (and I do not have space for such a large telescope). The mechanical construction is a huge step up from my TS (GSO) RC8. Collimation was a breeze in comparison and I got the scope collimated enough to fit a corrector/flattener after 2 hours of setup. The whole scope seems very well treated against reflections, and I have a lot less gradients to fight against in post processing. I think there is still a bit room for improvement of the corrector spacing. For lack of a better mount, the scope is currently sitting on an AZ-EQ6. It's fighting a bit with the focal length but I only had to cull 15% of the frames.

Between having to setup the scope and no astronomical darkness I did not even get 4 hours of data - but since I did not plan to take any suitable images at all, I am quite happy about the result.

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.
