IC 1396 - Elephant Trunk in SHO

Impatience wore on me as usual. This is only Ha data! With Moon and or clouds I've been unable to add the additional data to this that I want. (Hopefully soon). I knew I was going to crop this from the get go so decided to play around with some processing options just for fun. This was a drizzle 1.3 try again just for fun. I plan to go SHO on the this target but it will be much less cropped in that version.

Quite an interesting process playing with only 1 channel. Post was also an experiment. I went in with 2 different stretches. One for R (full stretch), and 2(over half stretch) for G and B. Full stretch also used for a Luminance layer. Stars were eliminated in each prior to combination and ended up using the ones from the less stretched to pull into the image. Don't mind the histo bit crazy! Oh what we do with limited data and cloudy nights!

Rev b - added some O3 - total reprocess

Rev c - added S2 - total reprocess into SHO

1st edition SHO revision - Taken over a span of clear nights (well mornings actually lol).

Description: More data, 10x600" O3 added. Plenty of minor things to fix but this is just an update. Not drizzled this time and a quick dirty processing done on it.

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.
