Rho Complex 3rd Camera Lens experiment, almost a charm

Revision title: Re-processed

Well I guess perseverance does pay off, but then also switching to my my professional series Canon 70-300MM lens helped a bit. I guess there is a difference between a $1,000 plus lens and a $125 lens. Also, the manual focus on my 70-300 works even when not hooked up to the camera, so I could actually focus, novel concept, LOL!!!

While the stars are not great, they are so much better than with the other 2 lens. The smaller stars look really good, the bigger one has some blue color fringe aberration on them. That maybe that is just what I am going to get with this lens, but I might try to research this. Anyway, for a wider FOV this is still a much cheaper option than buying the Askar lens or a Redcat.

FYI, this is cropped 2 panel mosaic of the Rho Complex and the Dark Horse nebula.

Description: Everyone I apologize for posting a really noisy green image. I had turned my display of my laptop way down and forgot to turn it up before processing. Geez that image looked terrible on full bright display. So I decided to just start over, this image is not as bright, but the original was way over saturated.

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.
