SH2-220, NGC 1499 The California Nebula

Revision title: Curves adjust

This beautiful object is an emission nebula in the constellation Perseus-
The nebula got it ´ s name from the US state California because the shape appears to look like the state on long exposures.
Distance out there is about 1000 lightyears from any place on earth
I have imaged this object before in will repeat it in the future and I just love it.
Like the famous words of Don Henley and Glenn Frey," You can check out any time you like but you can never leave😍"

The last two nights both rigs have been in operation with som minor start up adjustments, on the little rig mostly in the ASIAIR settings but also cable management.
The first night I stopped imaging after meridian flip and the last night I let them both run until half past three in the morning.

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.
