Rosette on fire

I like this orientation and processing because it reminds me of some sort of blue videogame eyeball character with orange flames coming off of him.

Capture:
SHO and mono stars came from my old dusty $600 2008 Equinox ED80, with a new 6200MM camera and filters, mounted on a 13 year old CGEM.
Night 1: 90x2min w/Chroma OIII 3nm
Night 2: 90x2min w/Chroma SII 3nm
Night 3: 90x2min w/Chroma Ha 3nm

Seperately with: RedCat51+6200MC+14 year old Celestron CG-5 mount
Night4: 31x30second for star color

Both setups were guided with a ZWO 30mm guidescope+290mm camera.

Processing:
SII, OII, and Ha all stacked individually in PixInsight and aligned to each other. StarNet2 extracted stars. Brought the 3 starless linear narrowband tiffs and 1 starmask into photoshop and did all normal compositing and curves/levels there. Used a little Topaz denoise on OIII and a little less on SII. Ha was clean enough. De-green'd the image using a color adjustment layer. Finally overlaid the star mask giving me mono stars on the SHO background.

I then used pixinsight to star-align the RedCat widefield RGB shot and it to my Equinox80 based narrowband shots, then brought it into photoshop as a color-multiply channel on the mono stars.

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.
