From Acrab to μ Scorpii

I've imaged this widefield shot with a quarter-moon up there in every single-shot. And the results came out very noisy. In the end, I'm still with the EQ3-2 mount, and I'm going to keep it for a long time as I'm now investing on guiding with the Meade ETX60 and probably the svbony SV105 planetary camera. But for now, still an unguided shot, it was actually pretty cool! Focusing with the nifty-fifty is harder, even more when using the Yongnuo one. But it looks better than expected! As soon as the moon goes away I plan on photographing this region again.

Criticism, suggestions and tips are always welcome on the comments!

Thanks for taking a look at this image! Clear skies for all.

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.
