Testing New Rig

Just spent 11 nights down in Elafonisi, Crete.

The purpose of the run was to field test my new rig, learn the ropes and iron out any kinks ahead of me taking it to Namibia next June.

ZWO AM5, ZWO ASIAIR Plus, Askar FMA 180 Pro, Askar FRA 300 Pro, Canon 6D modded, ZWO ASI174MM. The only bit of kit i had used before was my trusty 6D.

It was nearly a kilometre from the hotel staging area to the imaging spot down on the beach and the nights payload weighed a fair bit. Pretty tough sledding going back up that damn hill after an 11 hour run lol.

This is a first light 2 x 1 mosaic of the Deneb region shot over 3 nights, 4.5 hours a panel - 9 hours of integration in total.

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.
