This is another collaborative image with @Lee This is my first image with my new 3nm Antlia NB filters - Ha and OIII so far - and was going to be a HOO image

Lee offered me some of his data taken with his RedCat51 + ASI294MM and in particular some SII data to allow me to put together a SHO image - my preferred option.

This is 33x300s 3nm Ha + 25x300s 3nm OIII from my RedCat51+ASI1600MM, and, 26x300s 3.5nmHa + 24x300s 4nm OIII + 24x300s 4nm SII from Lee's RedCat51+ASI294MM.In total the above equates to 11 hours of data.

The normal processing in PI using NoiseX and StarX along with the usual PI processes.

BlurX was also applied in the linear stage using the PSFImage script in PI to set the PSF value in BlurX.

I know it is customary to have the trunk at the bottom but I quite like to see the dancing dervish down there.

Thanks to Lee for all his comments and critique in arriving at the finished image.

Thanks for looking.

Adrian & Lee

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.
