A friend of mine Matt Dieterich graciously sent over this data to me to mess around with, here was the result! Special thanks to @mattdieterich and @observatorioelsauce @planewaveinstruments for making this image possible!

PlaneWave CDK600 (CDK24 with the L-600 mount) and FLI Proline 16803 were to capture the data.

As most of you know though, I just recently uploaded my own version of this target taken with the TOA-150 with Deep Sky West, and I must say- that sucker has really surprised me. Revision B is a comparison between the two images. While the 24" is slightly sharper, I think most people would be hard pressed to find that much benefit over a 6" telescope. Besides, I'd rather the larger FOV with the same amount of sharpness

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.
