Rosette Nubula, Hubble Palette (Eric Coles (coles44))

Rosette Nubula, Hubble Palette

Skies have been cloudy, so I decided to dig up some old data from the beginning of my AP and re-process it with what I know now. This image is the Rosette Nebula, Hubble Palette. The subs were generated with a 98 mm triplet that had difficulty holding focus, on a mount that I have since sold because of problems tracking. All the subs were only 300 sec and I had only 8 Ha and 7 of O3 and S2. Not much data. Also, the Ha subs were at a different orientation then the O3 and S2 subs. So the image is significantly cropped. Enough of excuses.

But this is a good starting point. In November 2013 we will go at this object again. It will be interesting to see the difference in the ultimate Hubble Palette image.

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.
