Rosette Nebula - NGC 2238 - LRGB

This is my first attempt at this beautiful object.

Shot by a clear sky but strong moon light.

Processing was performed end to end with PixInsight.

I have applied the same approach as recently used in my latest shots, but performed NR on the RGB channels before merging with the Luminance - the outcomes are much better this way, it also helps with the slight sharpening at the end.

Enjoy!

Title: Rosette Nebula - LRGB, split starless/star processing

Description: Reprocessed using my latest workflow.
Early noise reduction in linear mode, usage of the new SPCC (color calibration) process, then split processing in non-linear mode of the object and the stars. Final adjustments in Luminar AI.

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.
