IC 1848 Soul Nebula - another great classic

Six months ago I added a new wide field telescope to the observatory. It is an Officina Stellare RiFast 300. The name itself is beautiful! The wide field of view invites one to capture the classic nebulas. The Soul Nebula is one of them. IC 1805, the nearby Heart Nebula is in process. How could you do one without the other? 15 hours of integration using ten minute exposures of Ha, Sii and Oii were processed with Pixinsight by my wonderful collaborator, Bray Falls. A little Lightroom touch up and here you are. Camera is a QHY600m which has superb low noise characteristics and amazing sensitivity for such a small pixel camera. The observatory is Sierra Remote with excellent seeing.

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.
