Sh2-101 - The Tulip Nebula

No object description, folks here know what it is. It's been a while since I've had a data set complete enough to actually warrant editing and this one took me a few nights to acquire. I did however find a new site that I really like and don't mind the 1hr 15m travel time. It's a secluded little piece of property with horizon all around and falls in the Bortle 3 class. There are no houses or people, just people that are done and have moved on. I don't bother them and they don't bother me. As a comparison or reference, my home site behind the house in a public park reads 18.5 on the SQML (Bortle 7-8) with no moon and a clear night. My new location reads 21.4 on average when pointed slightly away from the Milky Way.

My goal was NB data with a separate set of just RGB stars in this case. I did not integrate the Lum star set but do have it.
This is just one of the first edits and a good milestone for me really. I'm not all that pleased with the stars but at least I learned some techniques and that's the other major hurdle besides getting good weather and time to get out etc, is learning PI. There's plenty of room for refinement but it's a start. One thing I need to do is go back to using the pc monitor vs this huge Samsung TV. Prob not the best editing view or accuracy for color matching but mom had one she wanted to get rid of so what's a good son to do?

I'll continue to learn with this data set. Meanwhile time to select my next target to shoot.

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.
