Lake of Fire IC405

I imaged the IC405/410 complex about a week ago. The seeing was terrible and there were clouds so I lost a bit of data, and of course what I lost was O3. I plan to share the complete image at some point if I can get more O3 and do a proper processing job, but in the meantime I thought I would share this close crop of IC405, The Flaming Star Nebula.

One great thing about IMX455/Epsilon is that you can crop all sorts of images out of single large FOV. With Mauna Loa currently erupting I thought this scene reminded me of the Lava Flows, so I decided to share.

Looks to me like a lake of fire.

C&C Welcome.

Description: Used the O3 channel to boost the reflection filament. I initially was getting a purple filament, but by subtracting the boost from the red channel after getting the idea from Alex Ranous, I was able to solve the problem.

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.
