Rosetta Nebula (NGC2244)

I would like to share with you the results of the last two or three months so far. Unfortunately the weather hasn't been very "astro friendly" this winter, even in Spain, but when the sky was clear, I managed to get enough shots of some targets to take some pictures.
I present four images, the first two showing the Orion nebula and its surroundings through an Askar FRA400 and an SW Esprit 120/840 telescope. The third image is my first ever SHO palette, taken with IDAS NBZeX and IDAS NB3 filters. The fourth is the Pleiades, taken in mid-December.

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.
