Revision title: Enhancing the Detail

This is my rendition of the Cocoon Nebula along with VdB147 in broadband. I obtained data from a couple different locations around the bay area as they are much darker than my home. At one of those sites in the valley a little east of the Lick Observatory, I had the "pleasure" of imaging while the local male Tule Elk were starting their seasonal rut. while I could hear them moving all around me as well as loudly bugling like I've never heard before, I couldn't see them, so it left me a little on the edge of my chair the whole night. it was truly a night to remember. Anyway I hope you enjoy my picture.

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.
