Revision title: The Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443)

I imaged this nebula back in 2019 for the first time and have not revisited it since then. The original processing was done that same year and I was so intent in bringing out the details that I was too aggressive. I have had some time of late to redo the post processing using Photoshop. I used a Takahashi FSQ-106N refractor and a Canon 6D MKII to acquire 19 images at ISO 1600 for 300 seconds. No flat frames or bias frames were used but I did use dark frames. I used Deep Sky Stacker to stack the frames.

Description: I made another attempt at post processing this image with a less aggressive method. More of the nebula appeared and I feel this is more subtle too.

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.
