War and Peace Nebula NGC 6357 - "With Ha and OIII touch" :-)

Hello! Well, I will try to do OSC + Ha (and OIII if possible) images from now on with QHY8L...lets gonna see what happens...hope you enjoy this narrowband fever - and this attempt to emulate (just a little) NB, even with color camera - featuring War and Peace Nebula !

"Good" subframes :

OSC: 37 x 240s = 148 minutes

Ha: 68 x 270s = 306 minutes

OIII (have to stop because poor weather): 30 x 250s + 3 x 1200s = 185 minutes

Total 4 nights, almost 11 hours of "good" subs (if you count the bad ones, this number will rise a little :-) ...) All my best to you !!!

From Wikipedia:

NGC 6357 is a diffuse nebula near NGC 6334 in the constellation Scorpius. The nebula contains many proto-stars shielded by dark disks of gas, and young stars wrapped in expanding "cocoons" or expanding gases surrounding these small stars. It is also known as the Lobster Nebula and the Madokami Nebula by some fans of the anime Madoka Magica due to its resemblance to the main character from the anime and a popular fan petition to rename it.

This nebula was also given the name War and Peace Nebula by the Midcourse Space Experiment scientists because of its appearance, which, in infrared images the bright, western part resembles a dove, while the eastern part looks like a skull

It is located about 5500 light years away from Earth.

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.
