IC2944 Running Chicken in SHO - new M82 reducer

Revision title: Playing with palettes

Have a new Riccardi M82 0.75x reducer so makes my APM LZOS 780 an F4.5 at 585mm.

Still getting spacing right, but close.

Stacked in APP into the S, H and O channels and recombined both in APP and Startools 1.8.

Final processing in PS CC. Using StartexTerminator to remove stars doing final curves and sharpening on starless and reintroducing stars via linear add.

This is around 13 or so hours over 4 nights. Could go deeper I guess but this will do for now.

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.
