First light for the prize camera Player One Neptune-M (IMX178 sensor) under good transparency but turbulent air as one can see when zooming in to the limb. The larger sensor provides a wider field which helps minimize panel count for a full disk lunar mosaic, in turn the fastest frame rate at maximum ROI is 60fps which is about three times slower than the ASI290MM (IMX290 sensor), which makes sense as the IMX178 is three times larger than the IMX290 by area. This also reflects in stacking time in AS!3. Physical limitations invite compromises. The smaller pixels of the IMX178, 2.4µm, entail a slightly better resolution than the IMX290 with 2.9µm pixels but seeing needs to be favorable to benefit from the difference. Smaller pixels collect less light in that the IMX178 demands slightly longer exposure times. Full ROI images are about 3000 x 2000 pixels large in that drizzle in AS!3 is not necessary for obtaining images in excess of HD resolution. The Neptune-M should be a formidable autoguide camera owing to its small pixels and wide field.

Mosaic of 7 panels, 8ms, gain 200, 60fps, 600x, mono8, 10-bit ADC, no drizzle, native focal length. Note the favorable eastern and northern libration of about 7 degrees.

Images in the Revision are taken with a 2x tubeless barlow (effective x1.4).

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.
