Veil Nebula Mosaic Reprocess 2024

Slow times for capturing new data. So I am playing with old stuff and new ways of doing things. With work, weather, trees, and light pollution I don't get to get the telescope out much. But I started looking at old images and realizing how terrible they were. This was a two panel mosaic and I am a bit undersampled so pixel peep at your own risk!

After combining the panels
Dynamic Crop
Background extract
Devonvolution and blurX
NR
StarNet 2 / Generate star image /StarX I tried both I can't recall which I ended up with. I think I used the starless image from one and the stars from the other.
^^^ All for Ha and O3.
LRGB combine HOO
Histogram stretch, just the basic histogram tool.
Slight curves for Lum and Saturation
I tried SCNR but I like the bit of green in there.
Combined with the Ha stars in PS using screen.
Slight adjustments to brightness/contrast and playing with the star brightness/opacity in PS
Then I couldn't get rid of this green/blue cast in the background so I took it back in to PI for more background extraction
Back into PS messing with color profiles which is still giving me a headache.
Publish.

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.
