First light with the ASI Air setup along with ASI294MC-pro, shot unguided from my balcony.

Actually a whole bunch of first for me. ASPA with the asi air finally solved my polar alignment issues since my balcony is south-facing. After finally obtaining a 2 inch focuser for the ST-80, I can now fit a field flattener and see if it has any further imaging potential.

Overall pretty pleased with this image. M8 wasn't high in the sky, and shooting directly over downtown Toronto the 23mm bandpass lets in too much light pollution so get any decent OIII signal. Interestingly with an L-enhance filter, chromatic aberration seems very much pretty tamed. Don't think I'll need to be splurging on an ED scope just yet.

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.
