Swan - Omega - nebula and surrounds

Revision title: SHO effect

I was hoping to get an image of the trifid nebula, but alas the time it rises is so late, and with the skies so light now early in the morning [and late at night of course], it was not possible with my newly discovered short window for imaging objects this low down - please see the extra picture. I can only image that low down in Dec, between the tree on the left and the top of the house on the right - near the tree on the right - in effect between these two trees! As that is so, I hope to be able to image the trifid towards the end of the month, that will be my only possible chance. And so, instead, I opted for the iconic Swan or Omega nebula, processing a straight HOO, and also a simulated SHO. I normally prefer HOOs, but not today, I think - just about, anyway. Thanks everyone. Simon

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.
