NGC 2392 - Eskimo Nebula

This is my 1st attempt at shooting this nebula. Very much a challenge to figure out what exposure time to shoot for it. In the end, I used a series of exposures and processed each one of them and used each one as a layer to create the final image to get as much detail as I could. I'm not super happy with it, but it's my 1st attempt. I used my NBZ and my UV/IR filters to gather the data. If I do this again, I'll use just my NBZ filter now for all data acquisition.

Cropped a couple of times to get a different look for the image. Feel free to comment which one you like the best.

I had a total of 1475 frames to process and my pore little i5 6400 to all night to process this data!

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.
