A look in Auriga: M36, M38, NGC1907 and nebulosity

Not the cleanest data, but a fun widefield. I've been having difficulties processing shots with diffuse nebulosity throughout the frame. Something to continue to work on this year. I struggled for a while trying to blend Ha data into the color frames in APP. I finally got a decent result by removing the narrowband data's stars in the new Starnet GUI and layering in the RGB data in Photoshop (screen mode). Registering the two frames together in APP made that blend very easy. Big fan of the new Starnet - I think it beats out APP and StarXterminator.

This was my first light with the IDAS NBZ. No real difference noticed between this and the L-Enhance on this image. I picked up that filter mainly to use with the Samyang f/2 lens from time to time.

Data captured during a couple of very frigid New England nights. I forgot to turn camera cooling on for one of the nights and the readout still showed -9 or -10C across the board.

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.
