This was a test run of my new CEM40 using my QHY183C and Canon 50mm f1.8 lens. 260 60s shots at f2.8 of the Orion region. Still quite noisy and probably needs another 3 to 4x the data. But I'm happy with the progress.

Description: I have started to learn how to apply MureDenoise in PixInsight, which seems to work with my OSC data if I separate the channels and work on them individually. It allowed me to more subtle in processing the data to bring out the background dust without going over the top on stretching and saturation. I have also learned how to use Starnet++ to remove the stars after a small stretch and only add them back at the end.

I think this is about as good as I can get this image at the moment since it was unguided and undithered. I can't wait to get back to this target with guiding and dithering. But given how much smoke there is in the atmosphere here at the moment due to massive bushfires I'm not sure that will happen this season.

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.
