Orion Nebula

This is another one where I previously imaged this when I was just starting to learn Astrophotography, and wanted to revisit it to see how I've improved and how my new equipment makes a difference. This is completely new data, and I may post the original attempt for comparison, but maybe not. This is always a beautiful target, but very easy to blow out the core. At 5 minute subs, I did just that, and did so spectacularly!! I ended up learning a new process in PixInsight to adjust for this, and thus continue to grow in my Astrophotography journey. I'm quite surprised at the amount of detail I can extract from just 4 hours integration! I will likely spend a lot more time on this target when I can get more time imaging it per night and see what I can do with that.

The Orion Nebula (a diffuse nebula) is just over 1,300 light years from us, and approximately 12 light years across. You can actually see it in Orion's Sword with the naked eye (the middle star) but not from my backyard in a Bortle class 7/8.

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.
