NGC1499 OSC 81GT

I can capture the entire California nebula with my new WO81GT IV!

I've been running 2 rigs, the 9.25 with the 2600MM and the 81gt with the 2600MC. I don't have much to show for the 9.25 as seeing has been bad therefore guiding unacceptable for that focal length. Even had dew point at 7pm! But I was able to capture good enough data for this image with the wide focal length. In this, I used the Lpro light pollution filter. In hindsight I should have used the LeXtreme dual narrow band filter for this nebula. Minimally processed but with significant star reduction. Posting for my record...to me it's just a so so image. I'm traveling to Oklahoma this week and taking the 81gt. I plan to use the 2600MM for the first time with this scope skies permitting. Hoping to see what the 81 really can do! I may not be as responsive for the next 12 days...

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.
