Carina in HOO

After over six months, I finally had it in me again to bring out the RC6, with my filter wheel and mono camera, and play the game of focuses.

Originally, the idea was to capture the Dragons of Ara, but since I had some clear skies prior to their appearance, I decided to take the dust off of my procedures by aiming at the Carina region. And I'm glad I did it! It didn't take long until the clouds stroke, which turned my Ara's session into a dark frames session.

I eventually didn't use the Sii images in the final integration, since the signal was too week on that band. I really enjoyed playing with the different images though, and integrating them in different orders, with different weights through PixInsight, until I finally found an HOO combination that was pleasant enough to look at.

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.
