M27 Dumbbell Nebula.

This was a tough one to process. Mesmerized by this famous and bright planetary nebula I captured this data during the summer of 2022 at various places in California, from my backyard in the Bay Area to Lassen Volcanic National Park as well as my astronomy club's dark site called H2O. I attempted to process the data in 2022 but was never quite happy with the results. In all of my attempts to process in 2022, I kept "over-cooking" the image so to speak. So while its been raining here in the Bay Area during the early part of 2024 and taking what I have learned over the last year and a half I decided I should try to re-process. I am so much more happy with this result. I've left the previous attempts up for comparison.

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.
