Revision title: added more subs, new HOO processing

This one was full of "learning experiences" SMH LOL.
Day 1 - out of focus, through out the entire session. I assumed that since plate solving (ASTAP) was working fine I thought I was in focus. I didn't notice my large HRF numbers

Day 2 - next evening, high clouds all night, I processed the subs anyway. A low SNR = noisy images
Day 3 - excellent skies for B8, good seeing, guiding etc -- I started with 300s subs then switched to 600s in the middle of the session. Ended up using the 600s integration master to process via (PI). I wish I would've started the entire session at 600s so only integrated ~3 hours of 600s subs.

Title: new workflow process, less aggressive noise reduction

Description: I wasn't satisfied with the overly aggressive noise reduction of V1. I got overly enthralled by the smoky nebulosity SMH. So I completely reworked it and tried differing processes of stretching individual channels at different stages as well as applying less aggressive noise reduction at different stages before combining. I also used a different method of star reduction, I didn't like how deconvolution effected my star shapes (probably because of my PSF sample).

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.
