M13 - EdgeHD 11"

After about a month and a half of solid rain and clouds here in the south, I finally got a full night of imaging. I've not had my Edge 11 out in some time, so decided to bring out the big gun for this one. I picked an easy target, M13, and got all but about 30 blue frames before sunrise. The very next day I had just enough time to complete the blue channel before clouds rolled in and I had to take everything down. Looks like another 10 days+ of rain and clouds in our future. I'm ready for some clear skies!

This was my first time imaging broadband with this sensor and scope combination. I think it came out pretty good. All frames calibrated well with the exception of Luminance, and I'm not quite sure why the flats didn't match up, but it didn't pose a big problem, and I was able to work around it.

Description: I hit the image with one more pass of SCNR to knock out that little bit of green in the core.

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.
