Revision title: Another try with improved processing skills

The Carina Nebula, NGC 3372, 8500 light years from Earth. This data was captured in dual narrowband on OSC, split and recombined according to the dynamic combination method from The Coldest Nights: https://thecoldestnights.com/2020/06/pixinsight-dynamic-narrowband-combinations-with-pixelmath/

I plan to capture a set of longer exposures for this one to get more of the fainter nebulosity around the edges, but overall I'm pretty happy with how this has turned out.

Title: Another try with improved processing skills

Description: Just had another go at processing my Carina Nebula data using a gentler touch and keeping the colours as is from the camera. I think I've done a better job at bringing out the fainter nebulosity and improving contrast/details throughout.

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.
