Abell 62 in Aquila HOO

Another low target at 10 degrees and already past the meridian as night falls. Shot in nautical dark over a couple of evenings around 50 minutes per night. Abell 62 is a planetary I will hopefully add to next year, as there's quite a bit of structure to this faint object. This is only taken in Ha and OIII as there really isn't much time for RGB, so a pleasant surprise at how much the 60s subs revealed.

Jerry Macon has a fine image of this from his larger scope.

Description: Re-processed using the NormaliseScaleGradient in the batch Processing scripts. Just a basic process for a quick look. Saw Adam Blocks' presentation of the script on you tube. Impressed with the better colour s from the get go of making a HOO image and a cleaner background on a difficult object for my skies. Worth a look into the 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.
