SH2-273 The Cone nebula

Revision title: New process using the BlurXterminator and spcc

NGC 2264, The Cone nebula and The Christmas Tree cluster
In the New General catalogue both objects is designated to the same number, NGC2264.
The distinctive shape of a small cone shaped part of the nebula in the constellation Monoceros, The Unicorn give name the nebula which is an enormous star forming area, described as a cousin to the more famous “Pillars of Creation” in the Eagle nebula.

Data collected over 4 nights in March 2022 with my 61mm William Optics refractor.
The earlier problems with the ASIAIR V1 seem to be solved, but as far as I can see from the raw data, the front lenses seem to be slightly pinched.
That problem will be corrected before the next season stars late August.

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.
