I didn't spend a lot of time on this one as I just wanted to test out my new mount before clouds rolled in for the week. The Sky-Watcher EQ8-Rh pro is one heck of a mount. My two other mounts, Celestron CGX and CGX-L are fine mounts, but I could never keep guiding under 1 arc-sec consistently. Even with a terrible polar alignment (no view of polaris and Sky-Watcher star alignment is limited due to my field of view) this mount kept me under 1 arc-sec the entire time. I can only imagine what it will do when I can actually do proper polar alignment.

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.
