Here is one of the photos I took during my stay at the "Baronnies Provençales Observatory", with friends from the "Stellae Orientis Team", of which I am a part.
This is the Flaming Star Nebula, also called IC405.
The colorimetry of this image is in LRGB-HOO.

The Flaming Star Nebula, officially named IC 405, is an emission and reflection Nebula, located in the constellation Auriga. It is about 1500 light years from Earth.
The red and blue colors of the nebula are present in different regions and are created by different processes. Bright star AE Aurigae (the bright star in the blue cloud), is so hot it's blue, emitting light so energetic it knocks electrons out of the surrounding gas. When a proton reclaims an electron, red light is frequently emitted. The blue color of the region, emitted by AE Aurigae, is reflected in our direction by the surrounding dust. This is why the two regions are called emission nebulae and reflection nebulae respectively.

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.
