Sharpless2-273 A christmas tree, a cone and a fox fur

Revision title: Reprocessed and a different approach for the sharpening process

This is for sure, the season of «returning to the crime scene» as I shot this target almost three years
ago ,with less skills, knowledge and another camera.
I was going to reprocess the image some time ago, but realized that I actually, in some brainless moment, managed to delete all the image data.
When I took the latest subs, I was running two rigs at the same time and the big rig had to do two jobs each night.
While I imaged the this target, moon came closer and closer to the Unicorn, and at one night, March 1, it came as close as 17° to the Cone nebula so I had to protect the telescope against the direct moonlight with a big shade.
Not the full cheese, only half but, close enough.
While Monoceros, the Unicorn is leaving us to the west for this nebula season we have limited imaging time to do some deep sky imaging in this region, a couple of the nights, when this target moved to far west in the evening, I pointed the scope in the opposite direction and imaged the previous image of the Leo triplet while I was sleeping.
In the end, I got 14hr 6min on this target and 21hr 36 min at the Leo triplet.
This is the way😉

Title: Reprocessed and a different approach for the sharpening process

Description: I first did the channel extraction of the starless image.
Then I did the noise-reduction and sharpening of the color channels separately, with individual settings.
The tools I used for this process: the NoiseXterminator, The Local histogram equalization tool, and the Dark structure enhance script

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.
