The Jewels of Orion

Mosaic of 2 panes at 200mm to cover off the Orion favourites of, the Orion Nebula, Running Man Nebula, Horse Head Nebula, Flame Nebula and M78.

The frame covering the Orion Nebula is a HDR pane to cover the core of the Nebula. This was built using 41 5s subs, no darks, 41 flats, 87 bias frames.

Both panes processed using the same basic process in PixInsight with the Orion Nebula pane being combined in HDR Composition first before transferring both to Photoshop to combine in Photomerge before making final changes in camera raw filter which I like to use for final adjustments

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.
