Veil Nebula, Narrowband with RGB stars

Revision title: New edit with more data

The weather forecast predicted one clear night only, so I had to decide on a target which I could accomplish in a single night. Therefore I chose the Veil nebula as it is high in the sky. The conditions were ideal for my lightpolluted place, no wind and no moon, so almost no subframes had to be dropped. Luckily I could also use the first half of the next night to collect additional data.

Improved processing techniques, especially for handling of RGB stars, were used. Also the newest tools from Russel Crowman and Bill Blanshan/Mike Cranfield proofed to be a win for the processing workflow 👍.

Description: New edit with about 12h more data which I collected because I was tweaking the imaging train. Also improved the processing workflow. At first glance not much difference to the first version, but image details improved quite a bit.

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.
