Farewell my heart ....

Farewell to the Heart Nebula until after the summer

My nth version of this , first colour one with the new set up. The northern sky is in full view from the patio and points away from the light dome of Leeds so that two reasons i have focused on this alot

The other is obvs its fantastic object !

Just managed to squeeze this in before the start of galaxy season

Only issues were "clear nights" that werent really with poor transparency and consequent bad guiding - had to bin hours of data as a result

Taken over 7 nights between 26th Feb and 25th March 22

Ended with 14 hours, 5 Ha , 5 Sii, 4 Oiii all five min exposures

Processing was straight forward as data was good

Next step on the new set up is to see if I dare swap out the 0.8 reducer for the flattener that has now arrived so i can get galaxies at the full 912mm focal length

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.
