Super Quick M 92 Globular Cluster LRGB

M92 is a globular cluster in the Constellation of Hercules approximately 26,000 light years from earth. The cluster is iron poor and thought to have been created 12 billion years ago. It measures 100 light years in diameter and contains approximately 330,000.

For some reason, despite the lack of complexity for processing, I really enjoy bring globular clusters to life. Part of it definitely comes back to my first LRGB imaging being that of M13. As I went down processing M92, I decided to increase the core brightness even though that takes away som e of the detail. I also realized at the end of the process, that my devolution left a dark artificat in the back ground. It will have to be fixed another day.

This is data from May and June that I never Processed until today. I had a issue with my darks not calibrate correctly for this data. So.... first astrobin post without darks, definitely questionable. Also, very limited RGB files due experimenting with the zwo OAG that I ultimatle replaced for Celestron OAG. I only had 10 usable subs with the green filter.

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.
