Adapters: RASA from the telescope to the camera

2- M42/M48 ASI adapter (Ring) Rasa
3- Starizona Filter drawer
4- Remove 11 mm from camera, attach to RASA filter drawer

8- center star for autoguiding (guidescope star centering)
9- clean all optical train parts
10- RGB filters on starizona drawers
11- Highspeed Baader Ha, S-II, O-III on starizona filter drawers
(RASA scale 1.96''/pxl -> SGT plate-solve)

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.
