Return of astro-dark and clear weather = time to get the big rig dusted off. Full moon = narrow-band.
M16 is never going to get alot of imaging time from my location so adding some more to last years' seemed reasonable. Went with the flattener instead of the reducer I also discovered some very quick LRGB data from July that I'd totally forgotten about!
Anyway managed about 80mins of Ha, Sii and Oiii (1 session each) before my rose bush and shed intervened (not having to drop subs is really helpful when time is so tight).
The broadband star-field was a very quick affair of only about 30mins total using 2x2 RGB for speed (must have been a really bad night!)

Grand total around 9hrs 40m including the 2021 x0.79 SHO data.

Title: PI reprocess in more conventional SHO colour balance

Description: reprocessed from scratch to see how the new WBPP local mormalization would manage with a low altitude target. Spent quite a bit of time to bring out the fainter stuff and not clip the background as well as highlighting some of the wisps of gas. Not that it's noticeable but I used the new SPCC on the stars just because..... I think I'm fairly satisfied with this result and can probably resist reprocessing again unless more data gets added! Only thing missing is drizzling which would need more data at some point.

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.
