Sadr Region ( IC 1318 or Sh2-108 ) in SHO - Two Panel Mosaic

I put this together almost two years ago but had neglected to make it public here on AstroBin until now. This was my first expansive use of the CurvesTransformation process in PI. Now that tool has become one of my most-used processing steps, both for adjusting intensity levels and saturation.

This result was a bit more psychedelic-looking than I usually produce, but it came out interesting, and I like the representation of the blue OIII channel. If I were to process this today, I'd likely make different choices, but I'll release it as I made it two years ago.

Enjoy!

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.
