This image showcases the region around the cosmic rose, NGC 7129, presented in LHaOiiiRGB by my QHY 268M. Within the photo there is a lot to explore including:
- NGC 7129 itself
- The open cluster NGC 7142
- SNR G107.0+09.0
- The recently discovered planetary nebula, RebPau-1
- The dust & background nebulosity of Cepheus

I've attached additional revisions to the image for you to be able to see more of the interesting details within all of these regions, one showing a starless representation of the region & the other showing the (continuum subtracted) hydrogen alpha channel.

As for processing, I have been able to visit my telescope recently and fix the flat field issues I was having, as well as install some upgrades! I was worried about all of this old data I have with flat field issues, but after someone told me about MSGR, I was able to model them out - as showcased within this image. I'm now really excited to be able to use this technique to correct more of my affected images & share them with you all.

As always, any & all feedback is always appreciated! I hope you enjoy the final image!

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.
