The Pelican Nebula in SHO (Hubble Palette)

I had several clear nights in a row and captured a lot of images, unfortunately I have been bury during the day, so I have a back log of unprocessed images. Here is my first one, the Pelican Nebula, I may combine this later with the North American Nebula image I captured, but that is a way down the road. This one is pretty straight forward, I captured images with SHO filters and then stacked and combined with APP and touched up in PS.

This nebula has been closely watched and studied as it has an active mix of star formation and evolving gas clouds. I do find the dust lanes particularly cool to zoom in on and review.

Title: Better view of the Pelican

Description: So can you see the bird now, he/she is upright. The bill is facing left and down, the back of the head it outlined in yellow/red dust lanes. Dark dust lanes just to the left of this make out its eye.

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.
