NGC3324 and emission nebula IC 2599 in SHO

Finally a little bit of clearer weather - Hooray!. This was taken over the last two nights which were mostly cloud free.

Love this region and be good to get more data, but it's clear again tonight and getting itchy fingers to try something else ;-)

I've reverted to my Riccardi Flat 1 here so 780mm FL and F6 on my APM 130.

Very happy with my new iOptron CEM120. It's been chugging along happily most of the time 0.5 -0.65 arc sec RMS and with fairly similar RA and Dec error so round stars :-).

This I stacked in APP saving out the separate SHO as unstretched files for processing in Startools, but also combined in APP as well which I find often gives me better stars (now it has star reducer algorithm in latest APP) and some features better shown for later blending with Startools results. Combined and processed APP stack layers in Startools and then selective blending with APP Tif result to taste in PS... most of the end result is from Startools.

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.
