Sh2-248 and Sh2-249 in SHO-PRGB

Second last of the remaining images done with the reducer, more a filler between other targets. Hence, I did not get any RGB data for this area, which would have been nice to have, especially because of the halo effect of mu Geminorum in the narrowband filters. Tried to reduce it as best as possible, still, one can see the reflection fairly well. Overall the image misses the shiny part that I usually like, I assume that more integration time would have helped here. And right when I took the images with 5 minutes exposures I talked with someone taking 10 minutes exposures, which I believe was a better choice. Next year then, at least I already have a target for the future. The "RGB stars" have been obtained with my "standard" PRGB mechanism.

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.
