Here is an image which came out of my Radian Triad Ultra testing and my search for ways to integrate ASI1600MCC and ASI1600MCP data . I used individual color channels from 500 second Triad shots taken with the OSC version of the ASI1600. This allowed me to pull out certain emissions. Taking a blend of the green and blue data gave me Oiii+Hb which was then input into both the blue and green channels of the new image. I then took 900 second Sii shots with a Chroma 3nm Sii filter paired with the mono ASI1600 which was used for the red data. Finally I added a layer of luminance which was made from 600 second Ha data taken with a Chroma 3nm filter and the Mono 1600.

It was definitely an experimental shot but it was very popular on social media, in fact it was was widely shared on Instagram without giving credit to me, bitter sweet i guess

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.
