More salvaged data - Helix nebula - NGC 7293

Revision title: version h

Hello all!

This data was imaged on the evening of September 3, 2022. This session occured prior to the loss of much of my astro data in mid September.

This session is notable as it is my first real all nighter taking images in a remote location and then returning home the next day.

I have about 3 hours integration on this target, whiich appeared low in the southern skies... I had split my exposures using normal OSC as well as including the use of a dual band filter (optolong Lenhance) and then extracting Ha signal from that data, and then processed the OSC image normally. FInally I carried out an alignment in Pixinsight to balance the Ha with RGB image which gave me the faint outer halo.

I imaged this in my beloved location in southern Sandilands park (southeast corner of our province), under beautiful Bortle 2 skies. After finishing up and taking flats, I made it home at 6:30 am.

Thanks for looking, and as ususal your comments are always welcome.

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.
