After months of equipment woes, I've got the new mount working properly and am glad to be back imaging! This is a target I've been wanting to do for a while. I was able to continue to try and refine new processing techniques on this, including tinkering with various new pixelmath expressions to create a synthetic green channel, trying a streamlined version of Adam Block's star de-emphasis technique, and various other masking techniques to sharpen just what needs sharpening without making the whole thing look overcooked. In general, I'm very happy with it, and I am rarely happy with my images.

As a side note, I got one of the Telegizmo all weather covers recently, and it is fantastic. I used to set up and take down my rig every night, which was a chore, made all the more so with the new, heavier mount. Now I just leave it permanently set up on my back patio and keep it covered when not in use. The cover is thermally insulated so it doesn't cook in the sun, and keeps out all rain / snow / ice (all of which I have had in abundance of late). So far so good! I can get up and running SO much faster now. The gear still experiences the humidity fluctuations from being outdoors but no more so than if it were sitting in my uninsulated garage. Highly recommend.

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.
