NGC 7380 - The Wizard Nebula in Bi Color

My first image with a mono camera, also my first time processing narrowband data.

NGC 7380 The Wizard Nebula in Bi Color

Red: 100% Ha

Green: 60% Ha + 40% Oiii

Blue: 100% Oiii

Ha comprised of 44 300 seconds at Unity gain (400) bin 1x1 - 220 minutes

Oiii comprised of 33 300 seconds subs at Unity gain (400) bin 1x1 - 165 minutes.

Total integration time of 385 minutes.

Processing steps Ha:

DynamicCrop

FastRotation

Deconvolution with mask

TGVDenoise with mask

MMT with mask

Masked Stretch (main stretch)

Histogram Transformation (minor tweaks)

Curves (minor tweaks to contrast)

Processing steps Oiii:

DynamicCrop

FastRotation

TGVDenoise with mask (heavy)

MMT with mask (heavy)

Histogram Transformation (main stretch and tweaks)

Curves (increase contrast and highlight nebulosity)

Combined processing steps:

Combination via. SHOAIP script with Ha as luminance channel

LocalHistogramEqualization with mask (contrast)

Curves (contrast and saturation)

Histogram Transformation (bringing in black point a little)

Notes:

Data acquistion is no where near as good as I want to with this camera yet - lot of things to learn in both gathering data and processing afterwards.

This was a quick edit as the data is really not that good, particularly the Oiii is really, really weak!

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.
