SH2-132 ...HOO or SHO? (HOO)

so I posted both as couldn't decide which one I like more. such are the choices in this all consuming hobby 😂🤪

Another backyard image...so satisfying to be able to do this from B7 and taken with a OSC camera using Antlia TriRGB and DualNB filters. I used APP’s extract tools to obtain the Ha and Oiii masters. APP did a great job…a must for OSC and DualNB users. (Don’t know if Pix has similar). Interestingly, there was some Sii signal which allowed for the SHO version. I used the native DualNB integration as luminance for both versions. I find the Oiii interesting and in particular the stream near the core which reminds me of cathedral like sunlight filtered by Redwood trees. Also, there's a small planetary nebula, PK 103+0.1, magnitude 13, visible bottom right.

From Telescope.live: Sh2-132 is a large emission nebula visible in the constellation Cepheus at a distance of 10.4k light-years. The stars responsible for the ionization of its gas are very hot and massive; in particular, two Wolf-Rayet stars have been identified, known as HD 211564 and HD 211853 (the latter also having the abbreviation WR 153). Chain star formation processes are believed to have taken place in the nebula in the past; currently these processes appear to be suspended, since there is no evidence of recent activity. Nine sources of infrared radiation and a maser with H2O emissions have been detected in the direction of the nebula

Title: SHO version

Description: even though dual band filter, Ha and Oiii, for OSC camera there was some Sii signal.

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.
