Hydrogen layer:

~2h x4 panels taken with the 130 PDS

7.5h with the Canon lens. This was blended just a bit in the image on the darker areas to reduce noise.

Oxygen layer:

4h with the Canon lens.

I'm afraid I won't be able to add neither more O3, neither RGB as I initially planned. So this might be it for this season.

Description: Ha + ~4h of O3 taken with the Canon lens. Processing this was a real challenge, the O3 shots were out of focus due to focus shift during the night and also I had the IS element tilted somehow and elongated stars.
Many masks, layers, colour blurring, star replacement, etc.

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.
