M33 actual color 90 minutes with Celestron EdgeHD 8" and .7x reducer

Oct 18, 2023. Got a little dewy / frosty in the upper right corner, then I spent 3 months buying and selling frost solutions until I settled now on a heated dew hood ("Astrozap Flexi-Heat Dew Shield with Bottom Notch for Celestron 8" SCT and RASA Telescopes "). plus Thousand Oaks controller.

(DON'T get the dew ring from Celestron. It is a drag and messes up stars.)

Want to shoot more of this, but it won't be until about 9 more months when it's back overhead

I live in the Pacific Northwest. It's dark where I am but usually cloudy (or raining or snowing).

I am really happy with how this turned out. Was the first shot I got that I was proud of with my Edge until I'd messed with it for about 2 months (with lots of clouds in there too).

I think it looks like an oil painting, but it's how it looks to my camera with my scope with my basic processing.

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.
