SH2-54 SHO

Backyard capture from August. One that I forgot to process...as didn't think I had good enough data. A tough one for me as to the south over LA and trees come into play. More subs and/or dark skies and maybe I'd have an image really worth posting. 🤪 It's on my list to go after with my 9.25" next year.

BTW this is and SHO image with Ha bended to boost, but I didn't get the color out if that I wanted. I created pseudo RGB stars out of the SHO.

interesting region from wikipedia: Sh2-54 is an extended bright nebula in the constellation of Serpens. In its core there are many protostars and many infrared sources; some of these sources, like IRAS 18151−1208, are most probably very young high-mass stars. The older star population in this region has an average age of 4–5 million years, and its components are grouped in the open cluster NGC 6604. Sh2-54 belongs to an extended nebulosity that includes also the Eagle Nebula and the Omega Nebula.[5] The young high-mass stars of this region constitute the Serpens OB1 and Serpens OB2 OB association.

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.
