NGC 7380 is a young open star cluster. It's surrounding emission nebula is colloquially referred to as the "Wizard Nebula". This is rotated/cropped to make the wizard more obvious, but feel free to check out the other original revision to see the original orientation and framing, which is also cool.

I've been doing a lot of "yak shaving" in acquisition and post across multiple data sets which has limited my output. The holidays gave me an opportunity to reflect about my post processing and standards, so I'm going to be posting one image a week for the next several weeks which will clear my post backlog and give me a fresh start. I hope everybody had some nice holiday time and has a great 2024!

Thanks, as always to @Adam Block for his excellent instruction, and also a big thanks to @Russell Croman , and ghastro for their excellent pixinsight tools.

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.
