Belly of the beast

This is the last of the SHO targets I had data on. Took it through as traditional SHO and added RGB stars.

Worked on the scope this past weekend and I am out of the woods on R G B filters. With a baffle extension the central hotspot issue seems to have gone in my tests against lights and flats.

L filter now seems to be having a centering issue (when compared with Lum lights and a set of flats taken 45 minutes apart) so looking for options so I do not have to make another trip. A dust donut appears to be a hair off position when comparing and is messing up L calibration. I could not test this as I was at the obs for only one night and it so had to be cloudy! By the time it cleared around 1am, I had crashed.

Never had this issue when the cam and FW were on the Edge 11 scope. I may end up asking another person who will be traveling to setup his scope at the obs next week to clean the filter and check if the L slot is working out ok. Always something to tackle.

Hope you like this result. Clear skies!

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.
