The Field of the Cloth of Gold

An opulent image that Henry VIII would be proud of (laughing emoji)

The event leapt to my mind as finished processing, hence the title

I don't have a good view of the winter targets from the patio! About three hours per clear night are possible. With clouds etc taking the 15 hrs of data here took 12 nights between 21/11 and 18/01!

Five hours each Ha, Sii and Oiii

Stacked yesterday, processed today

Its the Hubble palette merged with highlights from an HSO version

I like the colours but it a matter of taste obvs

Most of processing time was taken getting rid of the huge halos round Alnitak plus chip reflections in the Sii and Oiii

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.
