NGC 4755 - The Jewel Box Cluster - after telesope crash :-)

Hello guys and girls! After a lot of work, even with bad weather, I couldnt avoid my will to take a picture with the "phoenix" telescope! ( 3 x 4 minutes RGB ) - :-)

- I have to collimate it again with the help of two astrofriends, focuser was amazing, rough, I put it inside again/ broke the fiberglass screw holes but entered again, its a miracle; the bump bend a little bit the white metal part, and the telescope cap front side didnt fit anymore;
- I will recommend the IOptron IEQ45 mount for anyone wants a "cheap" workhorse beast;
- Now the telescope mount lays on a homebuilt ugly tripod, made by some astrofriends, above a 1m square concrete base.
- The ST8300M camera with all the filters fell as well, and its another miracle ...only the fan now is making a little buzzy sound, but its cooling down normally, and continue to make my simple photos ...
- The old ED 80 is working, my main laptop wont charge anymore until I bend a little bit the power wire;
And thats it! Jewel Box Cluster directly from Phoenix-Pandora Observatory!!! Hope you enjoy!! :-)

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.
