Hello,

Here is my first lights with my epsilon 160ED.

I can say that I invested myself on this one!
The Epsilon-160 is magical but also very demanding.
I spent a lot of time on the settings of the gear, to perfect my autoguiding, to manage the problems of tilt (not yet perfect)…

For the shots I went to 500 km from my home looking for a bortle 3.
Then at 100 km under a bortle 4 to redo the Red layer which was not good.

Then hours and hours on Pixinsight to reveal the best of my lights.

On this LRGB version I tried not to pull the sliders too much to stay as close as possible to "reality".
But I plan to release a slightly more colorful HaRGB version :-)

I hope you'll like it.

Bonjour,

Je vous présente ma première réalisation avec mon epsilon 160ED.

Je peux dire que sur celle-là je me suis investi !
L'Epsilon-160 est magique mais également très exigeant.
J’ai passé pas mal de temps sur les réglages de l’engin, à perfectionner mon autoguidage, à gérer les problèmes de tilt (pas encore parfait)…

Pour les prises de vue je suis allé à 500 bornes de chez moi pour bénéficier du bortle 3 du Morvan.
Puis à 100 bornes sous un bortle 4 pour refaire la couche Rouge qui n’était pas satisfaisante.

Puis des dizaines d’heures sur Pixinsight pour révéler le meilleur de mes brutes.

Sur cette version LRVB j’ai essayé de ne pas trop tirer sur les curseurs pour rester le plus fidèle possible à « la réalité ». Mais je prévois de sortir une version HaRVB un peu + colorée :-)

J’espère qu’elle vous plaira.

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.
