Acquisition type: Lucky imaging

First decent results with my „vintage“ C8. Luna was at 45 degrees elevation and in the Part of my sky where the seeing is usually decent.

I assembled my imaging train in the usual short way so that my Barlow gives me 1.8x magnification. This puts the scope at f/18, which is okay for my ASI224MC. The ADC was in the neutral position and functioned as an extension tube only.

Manually tracked on my SkyTee2 (works okay, but I am looking forward to my OnStep modification). Image shift during focusing is there, but tolerable. I only collimated the scope visually, for a collimation with the imaging train I need tracking.

Shown here are the best portions of a larger mosaic. Stacked in AutoStakkert, sharpened in Registax, deconvolvef in AstroSurface and assembled in AffinityPhoto.

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.
