Eastern Veil Nebula- Straight SHO

It's been a long time since I got some serious imaging done. All June and much of July I was fighting with a new mount that ended up being returned. Before that the weather was horrible for, oh about the last two years, lol... A few weeks ago I purchased my dream mount, a new-to-me second hand Mach 1, and right out the gate it has performed superbly! I'm getting the best data... perhaps ever. I installed this mount in the new slide off roof Obsy I built this spring, and I'm having fun again doing astrophotography. It feels like those first few months when every clear night was met with great anticipation.

Anyway, for the last week I decided to image the Eastern Veil. I've always been drawn to the electric feel of this target and I imaged it with a camera lens a few years ago. Since then I have wanted to do some part of it in high resolution. My Newt with Paracorr is 920mm FL and with the small pixels of the 6120 my image scale is right around .7"/px.

I'm uploading two versions of this image. One as a straight SHO and one as a custom hubble blend. This is the SHO and while I don't generally like green in my DSO images, I really loved it here. It's a palette that I am not used to working with so maybe I'm just drawn to the novelty of it.

One thing that is really great about this target is that there is a very strong signal in all three narrowband channels. I was actually really surprised to see how strong Sii was. Thanks for looking!

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.
