The Flying Dragon Nebula, SH2-114 (Caleb Melton)

The Flying Dragon Nebula, SH2-114

Processing details:

•LVA Tutorial for Stacking,

•Drizzle Int,

•DBE,

•Histogram Transformation,

•Linear Fit RGB filters to each other,

•LRGB combination, only RGB for the stars,

•HDR Composition, Add the 5 minute subs to the 10 minute subs,

•Pixel Math, 0.5*Red+0.5*Ha (the red had no signal for the nebula, so you kinda have to add it in)

•LRGB Combination, use Ha as luminance

•Starnet to remove the stars,

•Photoshop Spot Healer to remove the star guts,

•Pixinsight Color Saturation to bring out the Ha regions,,

•HDR Multiscale Transformation,

•Histogram Transformation on the stars to clip the blacks so you don’t add noise to the image when using pixelmath to add them back in,

•Morphological Transformation on the stars,

•Pixelmath, RGBStars+Starless,

•RistaMask and EZ Denoise Script, (this will smooth everything out, so create a range selection mask to mask off the nebulocity from the background and use pixel math to add the nebula detail back in, so make sure you have a duplicate image before the noise reduction)

•Pixelmath, 0.5*NoiseReduced+0.5*HaRGB

Description: Reprocess of the original data.

Processing Details:
•DBE on Ha Data
•ABE on RGB Data
•Histogram Transformation
•Pixel Math (0.3xHa+0.7xRed) (Red did not show up, so to get the natural red color, you add a little Ha to red)
•Deconvolution Ha
•LRGB Combination + Chrominance Noise Reduction (HaRGB)
•Color Saturation
•Curves Transformation (Bring reds in background down and foreground up, lower greens, and RGB/K S-Curve)

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.
