I am contineously modifying my little Skywatcher 130PDS, now reaching a point where it gets expensive to gain any noticealble benefit. I think it does a quite good job for it's size now.
It is good enough until I have finished my work on the Skywatcher 250 PDS that I got from Franz, an Austrian astrophotographer -> thank you Franz! ;-)

This image shows some very nice shaped galaxies in the Aries constellation. I took this "snapshot" as a test for my latest modification (swapped the spider of the secondary mirror for a milled aluminium spider).

My suggestion for this target: try way more integration time for some interesting faint startrails from and between NGC 680 and NGC 678

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.
