IC1805 HOO

Here is IC1805 central region in HOO. Sometimes people ask me what does it mean HOO? I’m trying to explain it as like this, HOO is essentially an RGB image when Red was substituted with Ha, Green with O3 and Blue with the same O3. And the colors you see here are not how it looks in nature. After that someone who's never been into this hobby usually asks, how you do it? we also want to do it. Well, I don’t have an easy answer to that question, too much stuff involved. All my detailed descriptions sound very vague for anyone who is not involved in astro-imaging. Anyway, back to this image. My first rendition of this object was not much about colors, but more about details, it looked much more humble, less saturated, faded look, even a bit blurry. Fortunately for me, that first version underwent scrutiny from my immediate family members. They said, why it’s so dull? You should make it brighter, bring some light to it, bright images look better, where are all the colors hiding?, bring up some colors, more colors, make it brighter and more colors. Well, I just tried to keep up with their demands.

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.
