THE HORSEHEAD NEBULA AND THE FLAME

This photograph was taken during the calibration, collimation and adjustment process of the equipment with the TS Hypergraph 8". It involves 5 frames per channel (SHO) at binx1 and 5 more at binx2. I was testing the resolution of the ASI 294mm pro camera to binx1 and to binx2.

I finally decided to process the photograph by upsampling the binx2 shots to the resolution of the binx1 shots.

It is an aggressive processing trying to reveal the structures and pursuing an aesthetic result rather than a balanced result. I was trying to know the limits of the TS Hypergraph and the 294mm pro in photos where you have a short exposure time.

All this things causes certain collimation and balance problems that can be observed. the low signal from the OIII channel means that the signal from different channels had to be combined to obtain a satisfactory result in blues.

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.
