Revision title: Dolphin Head Sh2-308

Oh, the elusive wonder that is the Dolphin head Nebula! I love this target-it is truly one of my favorites. I have never imaged it before and I had the whole of last week to grab only about three hours a night of subs, between clouds, apple trees and my neighbor's house. It only gets to 32 degrees in altitude and so it resides in the light dome of the city to my south. But I am pleased with how it came out. Hope you enjoy! -Abundant Clarity-Tom

Description: Well, I found that if I played around a little bit with the linear image a bit more I would find some of the red that eluded me in the first post. So here is a mix of that linear stretch with the previous.

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.
