This is a target i wanted to revisit since last season and this is the result. I have many ongoing other targets im capturing data on from now and then and all are in the same rotation, 174 degrees so i had to keep that rotation which gave an interesting framing. I edited it first in landscape orientation but decided to rotate it 90 degrees so the flame looks like its burning upwards in this framing. Thought it turned out pretty well. The stars are from the original rgb image. Processing methods are ones used by Craig from Utah Desert Remote Observatory and its a non destructive way to work with hoo and sho images in Photoshop. Worked out well i think.

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.
