Hi Starfriends,

I wanted to do something more with the H-Alpha recordings from March 2020. On August 5, 2022 I made 38 more OIII shots. My goal was a BiColor. Since I only work with horizontally or vertically aligned optics for reasons of reproducibility, I lost some of the image field. The recordings from 2020 were rotated by about 40° compared to the current recordings. I still tried to save as much as possible.

The field of view extends over 4.5°x8°. To the east (upper left) it begins with the Propeller Nebula. IC 1318 can be found in the lower middle. The Crescet Nebula is further up in the right part of the image. Far right center WR 134, a supernova remnant.

Thanks for watching and stay healthy!

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.
