Heart and Soul Nebula Cannon T3i at 135 mm (Star Adventurer First Light)

I have to admit, I am going against the normal astrophotography progression by going from long focal length with my C9.25 now to a star tracker with a modified T3i , but it's been a lot of fun to set up the star adventurer while doing other deep sky astrophotography. I am happy with the first attempt. Plenty of issues with stars and coma because of the stock lens. My stock telephoto lens is F4.6 I believe, but I stopped it town to 5.6 to help with some vignetting . My T3i is older and the sensor is quite noisy despite darks and flats. I will need to get closer to 50 or 60 subs to increase the signal the noise ratio.

The Soul Nebula (smaller circular nebula) is a hydrogen emission nebula with the star cluster IC1848 in the middle portion of the nebula. Located in Cassiopeia with in the Milky Way. The nebula is approximately 7,000 light years from Earth.

Likewise the Heart nebula is located in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way 7,500 light years from earth. It is also a hydrogen emission nebula with central open star cluster.

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.
