Revision title: Thumbnail fix

I was able to do a minor data set of this target after finishing initial config and calibration of the FLT132 with the ASI2600MM Pro and EFW with 36mm Chroma filters. I'm quite impressed with the detail with so little data in bortle 6 zone. The new HAE43EC mount is performing well out of the gate. This first run saw guiding as low as 0.53 total RMS. Filter offsets are a bit rough for some of the filters as I see the curves are not yet ideal for some of them. I suspect I will need to do custom exposure runs with the NINA Filter Offset Calculator plugin.

I used 95% the same process as my M31 photo and not worth a separate detailing. Variations were with mask selections and skipping a few steps like addition of Ha. The cropped image is almost the full FOV.

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.
