NGC 2244 - relative widefield and a crop

The wind down here has been seriously tough, on this particular night it did ease, but the RMS readings on the guider were going nuts - but not compared to other nights before! How the scopes held their accuracy I do not know. I am really quite happy with this image, my only disappointment being that had I known that the fainter nebulosity was more over to the left, I would have repositioned things to bring more of it into the FOV. I miscalculated where the faint extra nebulosity was... I looked at the star maps but positioned the scope wrongly. Having had a further look, I now realise that this nebulosity on the left, is some faint stuff which is towards the cone nebula. So, I think it's worth pursuing this once more! Anyway, nevermind, I might try this region again and maybe do a mosaic - the only thing is that the weather here shows no signs of letting up! It was seriously odd looking seeing the FMA180 on the big Neq6 pro - sledgehammer to crack a nut, comes to mind... Thanks everyone. Simon

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.
