@Tim Hutchison gave us a link to this data in his recent version of same. I've never processed other's data before, but since the last month has been mostly cloudy or windy, I've took the challenge. And a Southern Hemisphere target also! Difficult but fun to process this Beast of a target. I processed as HOO with RGB stars. I will try again as the data is fantastic and I know I can do better. Here is the writeup from Tim:

@Terry Robison generously provided this data for a workshop on The Astro Imaging Channel (TAIC). It is available to anyone to download, process, and submit your version to TAIC. You may get selected to appear on the show and talk about how you processed the image, but even if you don't, you'd still get to process this terrific data set.

BIG THANKS TIM!

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.
