Cygnus Loop

After many months of cloudy nights, last night I set my sights on this prominent supernova remnant.

Actually, I just tried it one night earlier, but i was initially overwhelmed with my Setup after such a long time and spend several hours to "practice". :-)

A little insight into this:
- I got rid of the off axis guider and thus had to set up the optical train again (still slight egg-stars...)
- I didn't tighten the locking lever of the EQ6R properly and spent at least two hours wondering why the alignment was completely off...
- I mounted the MGEN on the guiding scope, found the focus and adjusted to the best possible FWHM value. After some more hours, Google-Tips and Schnapps I was able to answer the question why the calibration did not work: I had not connected the cable of the guider with the mount...

But now I like the Cygnus Loop and it was worth it for a lazy image-processing-Sunday.

Clear Skies, Miriam

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.
