Revision title: SH2-224 revised

Wow, this is a tough target to process. I captured over 18 hours of images and I am still not totally satisfied. This target was the image of the day on 1/7/22 and I am no where near the quality of that image, which did have over 60 hours of data. It has taken 5 nights over the past week and a half to just get 18 hours due to weather and clouds, it would probably take me a couple of months to get 60 hours and I am just not that patient, so we are going with this and moving on to other targets.

This is a faint supernova remnant in the constellation Auriga.

Description: I actually backed off on my saturation, I think the first image was over done and ended up looking soft. This one is a little more natural looking. If anyone has captured this or has any tips or suggestions for improvement, I am all ears!!!!

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.
