Usually I don't go ften for Open Clusters. But this time I used it for checking my optics for reflections, and and guess what I found?

One of my next homeworks will be a mirror ring to reduce reflections and a little more collimation. I will also check if the halos come from the filter and/or my new filter slider.

Removing the mirror is a good exercise as I have to do this with my 10" as well.

Besides that I am very happywith the result, because the sky was good tonight after a nice and warm spring day and also the faint galaxies and some asteroids are visible in the picture.

This is a proof for the relatively good sky quality here in the Spessart, even though Frankfurt is nearby.

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.
