SH2-240/Simeis 147 - Spaghetti Nebula in HOO

I re-processed my spaghetti nebula which I took back in 2020. That particular picture ended up in Sky, I had submitted it for an APOD that year. But I was never happy with how the stars came out. They were over-exposed from photographing it at F/2. This time around I used some of the newer techniques, namely using BlurXterminator to solve some of the over-exposure of the stars and bring out the nebula. I also used some of the Topaz tools to help make the photo less noisy. One thing of note is that I did not re-stack the data, I used the original stack and just did the post processing brand new. I assume if I were to re-process everything I may be able to get even more out of it.

I can't believe how amazing these tools have gotten over just the past few years, it's truly remarkable. Check out the original processing here.

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.
