Imaged over multiple nights from the back yard this will be the first in a series of images from the same data set as I continue to explore the wonderfully coloured world of synthetic pallets. Being old school visual up to recently I have favoured the red hues that the optolong L-eNhance filter has given hydrogen. I took time to push in some blue to add to the outcome.
As an added bonus I stumbled upon Henize 2-72 Planetary nebula during processing . Only described in one other image in Astrobin that I could see. This PN pops in the Hubble rendition which I have yet to publish. Stay tuned. The family is split between the Blue of the HOO and the green of SHO version ... Awe and wonder Folks.

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.
