First image with my new astro cam... I wanted to shoot something I had already done with my Canon 600D, and this was in a good spot, albeit a little low in the sky. The ASI2600MC Pro camera was giving my raspberry pi running astroberry server major issues with constant crashes on image download, so I took this opportunity to try out Stellarmate X running on a mini PC. The software performed flawlessly!

I shot this on the nights of May 26-27 with a waxing moon in the sky. AT60ED scope, CEM40, ASI2600MC camera. Just under 10 hours of 180-second subs, calibrated by 30 each darks, flats, and bias. Pretty happy with this camera so far.

Description: Redid this with a bayer drizzle integration and processed it for a softer, less contrasty feel. I think it shows the dust a little better.

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.
