Title: M101 New Process

Description: I hoped to get some more data on this target last week, but a fire north of me covered the skies with smoke well into the evening.
Reprocess of data captured in 3/2021. This is data with only the IDAS LPS D-1 filter. I did not include the data with the L-eNhance filter.
This target always give me a hard time in processing. I like many different "looks" but am never satisfied with my result. This process is no exception, but if you can handle the bold color, I do believe that there is some benifits over the original process.
Please let me know what you think!

Thanks for looking,
Jim

Title: M101 Another Last Version

Description: This has turned into a real learning lesson. I am not sure what direction I am going with this, but I am learning a lot!
This version has a bit of HDR added to the core area along with tonal changes to the core area.
Please offer suggestions, or, if you are like me, just shake your head! Thanks!

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.
