NGC2264 HaRGB with OSC!

Lots of clouds and snow the winter season, was not much I could do for all of January and February. Had a break late February where I could have some quality sky time at the new house and break in the new mount. Only had a hand full of hours left where I could image in the Monoceros and Orion constellations, so I decided on NGC2264 on a whim until midnight when I would swing to some galaxies. Still had a decent moon so I decided on some L-ultimate time and switch to L-Pro later if I could (spoiler alert, I could!). Skies cleared up during the new moon so decided to use the time for some broadband and work on my skill and integrating the two data sets together. Overall I am very pleased with how this one turned out. Was a great reminder why I love this hobby and not down in the dumps wondering if I made the wrong equipment purchases while window shopping astro shops!

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.
