Crab Nebula HOO/RGB

Revision title: Cropped Version

My first image of 2023. I captured this last year with my a 127mm refractor and my 2600MM in SHO. This is with my 7.5" Mak/Newt and a 2600MC using a dual band filter (Ha/OIII) and broadband (L-Pro filter). This is not near as colorful picture as the one I took last year, but I do think my Mak/Newt captured more detail.

Title: PI Processed

Description: I have a 30 day trial of PI, so I thought I would re-process this in PI following Lukomatico's beginning tutorial. Since this was a Dual NB, I may should have tried another of his tutorials. Anyway not a bad image for my 1st shot at PI, but IMHO not near as good of an image of my APP processed photo touched up in PS. I do not think the image is as near sharp and crisp as my first image. I did not use any sharpening tools in PI as I do not know which ones to use yet. So I am sure someone else could have processed this in PI much better than I did.

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.
