The Elephant's Trunk Nebula - IC 1396

Some old data I came across cleaning up my server. While my OSC camera was in repair last summer I slapped the ASI294MM Pro onto my little EvoGuide 50ED to see what I could get out of it. Of course I never took enough images nor a complete set of all 3 NB filters. Luckily I found some calibration data I could use to process the spare date while the weather here continues to be miserable....
Processed in PI - I tried my best and got more of a reddish image with little to no Oiii. While working on curves, I accidentally pulled the green curve into a crazy S curve which changed the nebula into nice orange-yellow tomes. I corrected the background from the excessive green hue and this is what I ended up with...For the little data, it could be worse...

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.
