NGC-2174 The Monkey Head Nebula

Hello everyone, Astrobin friends.

As some of you already know, I have not had much time lately to dedicate to astrophotography, however I continue to take advantage of to improve my configuration, consider changing my mount, I need a more precise and consistent guidance and the path was clear for me, Astro-Physics or

Paramount like my good friend Uwe, but again I took a risk for Sky-Watcher, I started it immediately and I could see what I already knew, it was not up to the task, luckily I had a plan, "astronomyslt.com" , I had the phone of these guys for a long time and I knew they were professionals, I sent them my new mount and they got to work, informing me and sending me images and videos of the comprehensive tuning process, they also tested my mount for three nights until obtaining spectacular results. (See images D, E and F), now I can say that I have a great mount and some new and good friends, THANK YOU FERNANDO, I owe you some beers.

For my first test with the new configuration I decided on an object that I already liked, so I compare progress, I hope you like it.

Greetings friends, take care and clear skies.

Iñigo Gamarra.

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.
