BBW 56 - The Mountain in Puppis

Revision title: Additional 3.5 hrs of data and another crack at processing

I was inspired by some of the great images I've seen on Astrobin for this one, but I'll be darned if I can actually find any information on this astronomical object. BBW 56 refers to the H-alpha survey undertaken by Brand, Blitz and Wouterloot, and this object is also known as "The Mountain in Puppis", but other than that I haven't been able to find anything.

It is a very faint object that I struggled to capture with enough SNR to make a clean image, and it probably needs at least double the integration I did, but I think it still looks pretty neat.

Description: Was able to collect more data to bring out this very faint structure and tried a slightly different processing approach. Also applied a light touch of Topaz to the end to see what that's all about. I'm not entirely sold, but it does seem to help with final polish.

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.
