Askar FMA230 & ASI 2600MC-Pro during a second half of 2023

In mid-2023, I bought the great APO Askar FMA230. Having an APS-C ASI2600MC-Pro camera, I decided to take a series of images of large, often multiple objects. In December 2023, I bought an ASI2600MM-Pro mono camera, a filter wheel and a set of 2" Optolong HSO and LRGB filters. Since then, I have been learning how to use N.I.N.A. and the mono camera will be my main tool. I haven't decided yet what I will do with the OSC and a great ASIAir Plus, but I cannot exclude that they will stay with me for some trips under a dark sky which may happen in a distant future. I will consider then a Samyang 135 F/2.0 or an APO Askar FMA135 lens.

Drawing on the ideas of other fellows on the AstroBin, I also decided to make a collage from the images that I managed to capture during the past six months. You can find the full-size images in my gallery.

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.
