NGC7635 & M52 in H-SHO RGB

This is a new version of NGC7635 where I uncluded also the M52 open cluster.
To generate this image I used most of my initial images from the previous version, as well some more subs from recent nights.
Obtaining the right balance of colors, contrasts and light of the final image was very challenging. I ended up generating at least 50 versions of this nebula. The idea was to generate a "natural" version by including the SII and OIII colors with smooth transitions. The major challenge was to avoid either too much red or more generally disturbing dominating colors. Personally I found this nebula among the most challening to process.
I wanted to thank Bogdan and Michael Ring for their critical input on the previous version of the image.
Comments, suggestions, critics are welcome.

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.
