After a lengthy recovery from a Corona virus infection I'm happy to be back. Currently I'm limited to my Unistellar eQuinox EAA device because my more sophisticate astro photo equipment is still too heavy for me to lug around into the field. So for the first time I post processed the images taken by the eQuinox and while the stars are far from perfect I'm quite happy with the result.

I was lucky that M101 passed by in the tiny area of sky over my backyard so I could capture around 3h of data in two nights.

Processing the 2647 files in PixInsight was quite a challenge. I had to divide the files into 6 batches.
As usual I used the GHS script for stretching. I learned that it is available as a module now, which I have to install in the next days.

Description: Tried to fix the stars with BlurXTerminator. The correction seems a bit over the top so I have to practice a bit more.

Changed the crop somewhat to provide more space to the galaxy.

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.
