Orion Nebula Complex

This is has been my white whale.. Every year I try to shoot this area in broadband.. and due to its position (Towards Austin's light bubble and with trees), I get hardly 3 hours on it and the weather has been pretty poor with almost no clear nights.

In additional to the position, I just dont have the FOV to shoot this area . This year, I started making mosaic (like I seem to do every year) and ended up with a 5 panel mosaic. The L channel is reasonable but the RGB has been a struggle to acquire.. Bad gradients, high clouds etc. I was hoping to clean it up with more data .. but I am doing this from end of October and weather isnt cooperating to continue more on this. So here it is.

Total integration is about 20 hours (L and RGB for all 5 panels)

Main objective was to go as deep as I can and not worry about HDR for the core and mainly get the dust around the main nebulae and I am quite happy on how it turned out. If only the color data was better.

The final image is like 8500x2700 and I resized it down to 4000 wide.

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.
