Tone mapped Heart Nebula Using Peter Cole's data. 2 Pane mosaic Hubble Palette.

Peter allowed me to use his excellent data shot on Crete. Each panel has 18x1200s subs for the three filters, so 36 hours total if my maths is correct.

Scope: Altair Astro 80mm Triplet.

Mount: Avalon fast linear reverse.

Camera: SBIG STF-8300 ccd.

Images gathered mid to late November 2016.

My fov is just about the fish head.

I found this easier to do than my own data. More noise and larger stars.

I followed this tutorial,

This is my fourth attempt at making a tone mapped image.

Rev A: The enhanced Lum_SHO image.

Rev B: Is image A mixed with a LHE sharpened version.

Rev C: Is the tone mapped starless SHO.

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.
