EtaCarina 12min Sample Image SHO_2600 Risingcam

Hi everybody, This is a 12min sample image of Eta Carina using my new Risingcam 2600-Mono camera. The filter set was Ha,SII,OIII, using Antlia 3nm 36mm filters.
The image only consist of SII,Ha,OIII. Only three subs of 240s were taken and processed in PixInsight. Although Darks, Flats and Bias were used these really weren't necessary. There are a few hot pixels floating around so don't look to close. anyhow this was a test for the new Risingcam mono camera and filters only. The gain was set to 150 and the offset to 4000; The higher offset made for a cleaner smoother image, allowing for little processing time. Images were taken in light Polluted Brisbane, Australia; and the Moon Phase was about 50%. The camera has no amp glow, so this is a big plus, but at this stage I feel the 3nm filters are the key to a better Image. Sure Eta-Carina has lots of nebula to capture, but at only 12minn total, the data collected for that time was pretty impressive.

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.
