NGC2244 - Rosette Nebula, Tak Epsilon 160ED Testshot

While working on the collimation and camera tilt of my new Takahashi Epsilon 160ED, I accumulated quite some data on the Rosette Nebula. It is one of the most imaged targets and thus a good reference to see where I am in terms of imaging.
With each imaging session the data became incrementally better w.r.t. to collimation and tilt, however I learned that I am now much more susceptible to wind, in comparison to the small RedCat 51. So a lot of data had to be taken out. Star shapes are still bad, mostly because of imperfect collimation.
Finally I figured out how to adjust nearly perfectly collimation and tilt during daytime, so I hope to acquire cleaner data in future.

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.
