Dates of acquisition: 10/2,4,5,8,9/2019, and 12/22/19 for 1.5 hour of Lum

processing: considerations. MULTIPLE nights with good alignment (2 degree error allowed in SGP) flat and dark calibration on 12/22/19 off but salvaged

6 master files

Crop

DBE

RGB combine

RGB workflow~PCC; MLT with 2 iterations 5/.85, 3.5/.75, 3/.5, 2/.25 (pretty heavy NR done); HT; 10% bg and SCNR

Synth Lum with all 6 combine

Lum workflow~decon with autopsf 75 iterations 5 layers; MLT fairly heavy like the RGB but a slightly stronger protection mask over the brighter structures.

LRGB combine: Bg at 10%;

TGDVN

Curves with game script masking for slight sat boost

XPTR with game script mask for lum boost; MLT for sharpening.

Morph to reduce the stars just a bit and ICC to end. very lightly finished in Light room for selective brightening

Hope you enjoy

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.
