Horsehead and Flame revisited

After ignoring it last year, I returned to the ever-popular Horsehead and Flame nebula in the constellation Orion, this time with a different camera than in 2020 and armed with better filters. This camera has a larger sensor and more resolution, and if Martha Stewart took astro pictures she’d say that is a “good thing.” Didn’t get as many red frames as planned because Orion slipped behind my neighbor’s tree too quickly the second night and I had a cable snag and the camera disconnected itself while I was eating a nice ribeye steak at Fleming’s with my wife the third night. When I got home, I needed to grab an hour of that green comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) before it disappeared forever, so I had to make a choice between more red frames or the comet and the comet won out.

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.
