Pelican Nebula - IC 5070 and IC 5067

Revision title: Final

Captured 22nd October evening into 23rd October morning 2023
Location - Aberdeenshire, Scotland

12 x Ha 300s
10 x OIII @ 300s
10 x SII @ 300s
50 x Darks
100 x Bias
25 x Flats (Each Filter)

Used Voyager after importing framing from Telescopius

Pre and Post Processed in PixInsight, including pre-processing using WBPP, combined in NBColourMapper and post processing in PixInsight using Russel Croman (RC Astro) Blur Xterminator and Noise Xterminator before finalising in Photoshop 2023 .

Thanks to everyone who shares information on the web on this great hobby - striving to be better - I will get there someday!

2nd revision is rework of the same data as I had issues with my darks on first revision so removed from process. Currently taking new darks so may revise again.

Final revision is again rework of same data but with new Darks and using automated pedestal for lights in PixInsight. Previous issues with Darks was not the Darks themselves, required adding pedestal to avoid truncating negative pixel values during calibration.

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.
