Heart of the Rosette Nebula SHO Starless Mosaic Greyscale (Eric Coles (coles44))

Heart of the Rosette Nebula SHO Starless Mosaic Greyscale

This is a a two-panel starless mosaic of the Heart of the Rosette Nebula. It's a greyscale image made from combining all SHO data once the individual starless mosaic images have been processed. That means the histograms of each of the individual NB images were adjusted so that they were somewhat equivalent so that the structures of each of the emissions are represented. This results in a somewhat different representation of this area of the Rosette, particularly the emissions represented by Sll.

There is a fare amount of detail in this image. If interested, zoom all the way in and enjoy. OBTW, I think there is an O3 bubble in the upper region of the image. I have seen this formation before, but this representation seems to define it in a different way as more of a three-dimensional structure.

If you have comments about this approach, please put them below.

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.
