Flying bat nebula - Ha only

Well, here is a bit of a story. My 294MM, which I thought had been shipped off to China for repair, is actually still sitting in the shop - he wants to send it off with a load of other stuff at the same time, to save on postage - which is understandable, but it does not help me much, and I have now been without the camera for 4 weeks - with no progress. Also, the shop has the fast Newtonian, and are meant to be professionally collimating it for me. Once done, I will sell this scope and take the financial loss. One of those astrophotography 'mistakes' that I can no longer live with, even if the scope gets sorted. I have had enough of that issue, now. So, what I have done is gone and got myself the Sharpstar 61edph mark III, which is vastly improved to the previous models, and at last I can say, I am happy again. It took me a while to decide on this, but I think I have finally made a good decision! The sale of the other scope will offset the costs of the new one. The sky was a little iffy and the moon still a bit too bright, but even so... I think this little scope is amazing - and here is my first light with it, hoping to get the OIII tomorrow night - maybe. So, this was taken with the ASI1600MM, which the shop lent me. Good of them that! Hoping you are all well, and hoping you can see the potential of this scope and its lovely FOV... Missing my 294's chip, but that is ok!

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.
