M3 First light using Askar FRA 400 ZWO asi 585MC camera

Hi All

My new setup.
The Askar FRA 400 f/5.6 72mm Quintuplet APO Astrograph Thanks to Roy Hagen and Uwe Deutermann for recommending this telescope.
The ZWO asi 585MC I got to image Luna and planetary work.
I decided to get the Optolong L-enhance 2" filter.
My first impression of the new setup.
Askar FRA 400 Very happy.
ZWO asi 585Mc camera very happy.
Optolong l-enhance 2" filter no very sure? as my stretched image looked terrible see the revision, not sure if this is normal.

I took around 37 lights only 25 looked reasonable due to bad seeing conditions ( in the morning mist)

Thank you all for the support this means a lot to me Tam.

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.
