Whale and Hockey Stick

Hi Astrobin friends !

Well it being galaxy season I have tried to peer at some galaxies through the clouds and rain

Have captured about ten and half hours of usable subs on the Whale and Hockey stick at 520 mm focal length which is a bit on the short side for these targets

Data was captured on the three or four mostly clear nights since the begining of March (eugh)

I captured 3.5 hours whilst on holiday in the Scottish borders ( a place called Morebattle) - Bortle 3 ! I had high hopes for this trip but other than the first day it rained constantly

I should say that this marks to return into action of my 520mm scope after a long break due to computer issues and cabling issues (not used it since was in Spain in September)

I present here a fairly heavy crop , i will post the wider field as a revision

Filter Subs Secs Hrs
Lume 551 30 4.6
Red 246 30 2.1
Green 236 30 2.0
Blue 230 30 1.9

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.
