First decent night in a while. New Chroma filters are working great. Particularly the OIII 3nm. A little bit of high cloud and wind so seeing wasn't great but like my bubble nebula recently beggars can't be choosers these days. First time shooting this nebula. I think I prefer it in HOO over SHO. Ha is ok, maybe another hour or two would help. OIII needs another two or three. I notice the difference jumping from an FSQ-85 at f/5.3 versus the TSA-120 at a native f/7.5.

Description: Nudged a bit more out of the data. Ran a Deconvolution on the Luminance (Ha) to reveal some detail. Had previously run a LocalHistogramEquilization on the Luminance and did it again but also did a HDRMultiscaleTransform on the Chrominance data which helped reveal some detail in the bright areas. I was less aggressive with noise reduction and just applied a touch to the Luminance. My previous attempts background is a little plastic looking. All combined in Photoshop with some sharpening via High Pass filters. Ditto Colour Balance and Curves to make it pop.

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.
