This image is of interest because it is featured as a workflow demonstration on my site. PixInsight keeps changing! Not only the core program but also powerful tools such as BXT, SXT and more. I have to keep up with the times and create new videos continually. It is a never ending push to stay up to date and I know members of my site have an expectation that the information matches what they see on their screen! My previous featured workflow video still had PCC as the color calibration tool. SPCC has not been out for a year yet! That if fast...

So this happened to be the most recent data I had at hand. I used the new workflow of applying a correction only to the image with BXT before SPCC. It works great.
If you have not see the YouTube video I did with Russ Croman yet- please see:

The video I am referring to (for members of my site) in the Fundamentals Workflow section:

There are many interesting small objects in the field including OU 1 (a Nicolas Outters first of his catalog).
I am curious to see whether PI advanced plate solution labels it!
(Hint, it is a PNe and left of NGC 1491 near a bright star in this image... )

P.S. It did not label OU 1... but it is next to HD 25787.

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.
