Revision title: Simeis 57 (Propeller Nebula) SHO with RGB Stars (Revised color to enhance Oiii)

I finished up with my Oiii and SII and added them to the HaRGB to complete the SHO version with RGB stars. Processing really gave me fits this time around and I'm still not satisfied with the result. I was unable to get the blue color to cooperate. I'm definately going to go back and play with this one some more to see if I can find a better pixelmath combination.

Title: Simeis 57 (Propeller Nebula) SHO with RGB Stars (Revised color to enhance Oiii)

Description: I was unable to find a pixelmath formula to pull out the blue Oiii signal to my liking so I decided to improvise on this revision. Stacking and light pollution removal was completed in Astro Pixel Processor with subsequent channel processing completed in Pixinsight. I went back to Astro Pixel Processor for the SHO combination of the starless narrowband channels. Photoshop was then used for final tweaks to the SHO layer along with adding the RGB stars which were processed in Pixinsight. Probably an unorthodox approach but it did seem to allow for a bit more vibrant blues.

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.
