M27 Lum,NB bi-color picture, Atik Horizon CMOS Beta Camera

7. Oct-2017 in a nearly full moon astro-session at CPH, DK.

Atik Horizon beta camera, a 16" SCT F6.2 scope, Baader 36mm filters used to make a Lum,Ha, and OIII bi-color picture of M27.

Exposures: Ha, OIII 8x300sec each narrow band filter. Lum: 119x30sec => Total exposure ~2.3 hours.

The Atik Horizon camera temp. was set to minus 20 degress C.

The tracking/guide of my astro equipment was not perfect that night, but I decided to take the frames anyway.

FYI, among other things I used this approach in PS CS6,

My home build observatory is placed in my front yard/in the "red light" polution zone, have a look here,

On request I will be happy to share/show tif/fit files/stack info, please just let me know, thanks.

Kind regards Niels

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.
