Sh2-101 - Tulip Nebula wider field in SHO/HSO/HOO combo with RGB stars

Got some data of the Tulip Nebula in the last couple of weeks, amazingly we had some clear nights in the middle of the summer. My power box went overtime to get the cameras cooled while still providing enough power for the dew strips.

In this image I combined the standard SHO, HSO and HOO images into one, the SHO version alone did not really emphasize the nebula structure in the field around the Tulip, while it does an excellent job on the Tulip itself. I am quite happy with the final result, I believe I found the right balance of stars in this area of the sky, and they look crisper as I usually get them, now the question is if I can ever reproduce this 😊.

Stay safe, have clear skies, and never forget:

Seize the time! Live now! Make now always the most precious time! Now will never come again.

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.
