Well, I'm sitting at home patiently waiting for the sky to clear so that I can capture the auroras of the last solar eruption, but unfortunately it's not going to happen. To pass the time, I processed an intermediate event of the last clear nights, the beautiful Markjan chain. A total of 72 exposures of 300s single exposure time / sub, taken with the Deepsky Touptek 2600c and the Red Cat 51, at 250mm focal length f/5. ALs filter was the Antlia V-Pro-L.
The images were dithered, drizzled as they should be, and corrected with all calibration files (darks, flats, flat darks). Since I am somewhat limited in the Monet in terms of setup (installation work on the balcony, awnings, shutters...), I can't do much else at the moment, looking south-southwest, so I will take as many shots as possible of the sky section - let's see how deep I can get into it, at Borlte 6-7 LV directly out of the Satd.
The setup is mounted on the small Skywatcher Adventurer GTi travel mount and tracked with the MGEN3.

This collection of galaxies is extremely impressive - you can say that you are looking millions of years into the past - so yes, it is possible to travel back in time. Some of the light from these numerous galaxies has traveled over 100 million years to reach us - the light we see here shows us these galaxies as they looked millions of years ago, when the dinosaurs had to spend their last few million years on Earth, they died out about 65 million years ago.

I cropped the larger galaxies and arranged them around the picture :-)

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.
