Post-Processing:

PixInsight

Processing based on the excellent HSHO tutorial https://youtu.be/UzL_UwcqkfI by @cuivlazygeek

Ha, OIII, SII channel:
Image calibration (dark + bias frames only), star alignment, image integration, dynamic crop, dynamic background extraction according to this video https://youtu.be/eB0J4-O5WUQ by @visibledark_astro, Darkarchons EZ Processing Suite: EZ Softstretch

HSHO combination via LRGBCombination with 100% weight on the green channel, remove magenta tints in the color image by image inversion and SCNR, star extraction using Starnet2

Starless HSHO processing:
curves transformation for contrast enhancement, create luminance mask, contrast/color saturation/hue, R, G, B, enhancement of nebula by curves transformations

Sharpening of L:
enhanced luminance sharpening using this video https://youtu.be/uzwVTZUYNZw by @visibledark_astro

Topaz Denoise AI:
Remove noise from starless image:
Low Light Mode On
Sharpen: 0
Remove Noise: 5

Finally, add stars to starless image using Pixelmath, final contrast/color saturation tweaks with curves transformations

Location (Bortle 4): Schwentinental, Germany

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.
