M81/82 OSC Filter Combination

Well here it is! The first proper Astrophotography project I have ever done. I did a collection with the Astronomik L2 Uv/Ir cut filter,Idas Nbz and Optolong L Pro filters. I wanted to collect a lot of data to see what I can come up with. At the end I managed to collect 33 hours and 21 minutes of data with 3 different filters. But I had to delete all of the data I got with the Optolong L Pro filter (all 13 hours and 43 minutes) because the images were washed out from my Bortle 7 skies and when added with the rest of the filters the data looked washed out. Also had to delete just over 6 hours of Idas Nbz data. Similar issues with the LPro. Seemed like I took most of the images with clouds around and also the light pollution didn't help. At the end I could only use the remaining data I collected from a bortle 4 sites with the Idas and Astronomik filter and only used just over 10 hours of the 33 hours.
Had to use extracted luminance as mask to add data from the Idas.The only way the Ifn could stay on. Star mask took that away. Don't think it's the best way of doing it but I will get there. Got a lot to learn. Not the best image but I'm happy how this turned out

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.
