The Fighting Dragons of Ara, NGC 6188

I posted this one in HOO a few months ago, before I got my Antlia 3nm Sii filter.

But since then, and while finishing collecting data on Carina Nebula, I managed to get a whole lot more data across all channels. Plus I had learned a few new fancy processing techniques to really pull out all of those flamey detailey goodness!

This is processed in 'Foraxx' pallet, which is an adaptive mixture of HOO/SHO depending on which signal is strongest, and really makes the (often very faint) Sii pull its weight in the final image.

HUGE thanks to @Paul Hancock and his amazing YouTube tutorials on how to achieve this. As well as James Lamb (who I don't seem to be able to find here) and @Tim Hutchison recent session on #theastroimagingchannel for some more ideas how colour combination and including RGB 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.
