Hi,

Thank you for watching my version of Helix !

This is my first image with my new camera QHY268M. I used mode1 gain 56.
The image is a crop at native resolution.

I tried to make the faintest extensions of the nebula visible without burning the core. There are much deeper version of this object on the web but I was happy of what I could get with 8h of Ha : my goal was to get the bow shock at the bottom left on the image.

I found it difficult to process to keep a feeling of transparency. I could strech more and saturate the colors but it would make the rendering very different. I tried to keep a balanced rendering.

Hope you like it, looking for your feedback.

Thanks for reading

Yann-Eric

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.
