IC59 and IC63 - HaRGB

This was a nightmare! First of all, aligning it was very tough, I then ended up with some OIII data because I put the wrong filter in - I intended to use a Ha filter instead! The OIII that I did get was so minimal that I did not bother with it, although on an object like this there is barely any OIII, as far as I know. I finally got the Ha data, but alas it did not really cut through like I hoped for, and that was the case with the RGB data too! I had all sorts of internal reflections going on - or at least I hope that is what they were, otherwise there might be fault! It could be something to do with a bright moon, the bright nearby star called Navi, and maybe running it with a long focal length at f9 was not the best choice of scope. After that, processing was hard work and honestly, I have done all I can with this. But, I am pleased with what I finally got and pleased I actually took this object - finally. Hopefully tonight will be easier with NGC 7331 - it looks like it will be clear. Thanks all... : )

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.
