M101 high-res close up and busy widefield

Here the firstlight from my new remote hosting spot.

10hrs LRGB split 50:50 between Luminance and RGB. Unfortunately another 4hrs had to be rejected due to high clouds.

In the widefield many interesing background galaxies like PGC2456975 and other objects like quasars can be discovered.
Terribly sorry for the folks living in NGC5474 having cut their galaxy in half ;-)

To my estimation objects down to 21mag or even a little more can clearly be seen.

A little downside, 86 Uma a pulsating variable star with V 5,69 mag left his footprint in the widefield bottom left.

In this regards I must admit processing-wise I am not the most patient, surely some well-skilled colleagues would have gotten out even more from the image especially in the widefield.
However, I am happy and have found a good new spot for my equipment.

In fact not only the first image from the new location but also the camera is brand new and the combination TOA+flattner is also new as have used it wiith the reducer only so far.

Kind regards,
Alex

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.
