IC405 - Flaming Star SHO

One of my first trials to do narrowband with the RASA. I had to use a lot of post processing to suppress the banding noise of the QHY294M.

This object has really little O3 data but it adds a tiny bit of signal in the brightest parts and so makes this fiery palette glow more. Still, maybe the time would have been better spent with more S2 instead.

I really like how deep this image goes with so short an integration time, even though these are not preshifted filters. Depth and details certainly beat my Esprit 100 data from last year, even though the refractor stars are much better. I should try and combine the two, but that revision will have to wait some.

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.
