Filler project and getting into the groove again: IC59 and IC63 in HOO (or is it just H :-)?)

Summer astro hibernation is over, and as every year, it seems that I do need an extra kick to get me going again. Well, at least there were several clear nights, even when the moon was not shining (!), so I could get some data together, which was actually a lot of fun (and also frustrating, since guiding was super awful a lot of times, seeing I assume). The next step (processing) is harder to get used to again, sitting a lot of days all day in front of a computer is not necessarily an evening motivation to do more of this. And processing images is a "bit" repetitive, becoming over the years a bit boring, totally honest here (let me know if you feel the same, that might help me to cheer up again: split pain, half the pain (German expression)).

The data for this target were not the best, and by far not enough, still, wanted to get at least an image out of it, and it shows. This one needs way more OIII data, they were actually incredibly faint, was a bit surprised by that, maybe the overall sky conditions played a role. And I am a bit late to the Halloween party with those ghosts.

The next image will have a lot more integration time, this was indeed just a filler session until my main targets were visible above the tree line.

Carpe noctem!!

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.
