M27 Dumbell Nebula

The sky is still gray so I have played around a bit with some of my first data from when I started AP 1.5 years ago to try a Photoshop plug-in filter. Then (April 2015 ) I took 5 subs of 2 min (ISO1600 with Canon 60Da) with my Celestron Edge HD 8" on a NEQ6, and I had not got guiding going yet so the stars were trailing rather severely. The plug-in filter is called Focus Magic, which is a deconvolution filter that can do two things: reduce focus blur and reduce motion blur. Here I used it to take away the star trailing using motion blur deconvolution on each sub in PS. I then stacked them in Nebulosity and finally processed it in PS. I think the result is not too bad considering this is only 10 min of data.

Here is where you can try out Focus Magic: (sadly you can only use it 10 times unless you pay them 65 USD, which I probably end up doing):

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.
