Back to Carina (NGC3372), testing the Askar Magic Colour C2

Revision title: Drizzle 2x & New processing

Months ago Askar launched the C1 and C2 filters, cheaper versions of the famous D1 and D2 Magic Color filters. Already having a filter for H-alpha and Oiii bands, the 220 from Svbony, I decided to purchase the C2 to complement my setup and work with images with the Hubble palette (finally going from HOO to SHO). I'm not that picky and I was quite pleased with the results. However, it is possible to notice halos in brighter stars (which already happened to me in the past with the ZWO Duoband and L-Enhance). But it is possible to contour or minimize it with some Photoshop tools and, of course, BlurXterminator. D2 probably wouldn't bring me these artifacts, but I'm happy to have achieved a satisfactory result paying half its price. I would say that the C2 filter is definitely recommended for amateur astrophotographers interested in building Hubble palettes and who are not extremely demanding (and also for those who want to save some money...). Obs: At first I've got the beautiful magenta stars with C2, but in the final image I inserted the 'RGB' stars with subs took with Baader Neodymium.

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.
