SH2-132 3nm Review By Filter (HA, OIII, SII, NII now added) (Paddy Gilliland)

SH2-132 3nm Review By Filter (HA, OIII, SII, NII now added)

Rev A&B: HA Processed

Rec C: OIII unprocessed (calibrated only) stf +htt only

Rev D: SII unprocessed (calibrated only) stf+htt only

Rev E: NII now added 5x1800 only (can't seem to add to acquisition details)

For those wanting to see the filter by filter performance I have added the raw stacked images for other channels. Consider these have been taken under average UK skies - so I am very happy with these results. I have taken what I would consider to be an average number of subs for 5nm in OIII and Sii and the results to appear to have improved SnR. No basis for this other than visual inspection.

Hope this helps someone out there

Nii comments - well appears there is a lot of data - this is the raw stretched data with no processing and just 5 subs for the test. This data will reinforce that which is missing from the soft HA image (656.3 range) and I think and will subject to blending reinforce the other channels. Its a lot of data however you look at it and its in the area of the image that looked 'soft' in just ha.

Will have a go at processing a quad band versions as soon as I can.

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.
