Veil nebula RGB & Oiii integration / Canon 800D & 200mm fix lens

This process of taking and then integrating RGB and narrowband is completely new to me; however, this is a first attempt to do so on the Veil Nebula from a pure DSLR perspective. Unfortunately, no HA filter for my DSLR so the R channel of RGB was not nearly as clean as the G & B of the Oiii filter.

The image here is a mix of :

- Oiii data from 14 September - 20 subs x 240 seconds @ iso800

- RGB data from 19 Sept - 12 subs x 240 secs @ iso800 and 12 subs x 240 secs @ iso1600.

Original version : keeping only the R and replacing the G & B channels with Oiii data. Had challenges with the R channel weighting as it was coming through more than the others upon integration in the background and on stars. The B & G came through well on the nebulae.

Newer Version: applied the Oiii data as a Luminance layer in Photoshop and this seems to have improved nebulosity especially between the Eastern & Western veils.

Processing is a mix of Pixinsight and Photoshop.

Description: This version applies the O3 image as a Luminosity layer in Photoshop (vs integrating the O3 G & B channels into the RGB as in previous version) which seems to improve the nebulosity in the center of the Veil Nebula (between the Eastern & Western veils).

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.
