Widefield Bubble Nebula and Lobster Claw Nebula

A trip to B3 skies in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK gave me a week of clear skies, but a heavy moon has plagued some of the images!
My flats did not apply correctly, I ended up with light patches where the dust motes were and from research I believe this is due to light leak on the flats as I was taking them under the heavy moon.

I'm also still showing tilt to the left, which looking back over older images was not there late 2022, but nothing in my image train has changed. I now have a manual tilt adjuster in the 55mm spacing, so will start to work on that.

I'm aiming to add some Sii (and more Oiii, using the Sii/Oiii dualband filter), and then a quick set of RGB stars to replace the NB ones.

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.
