M101 HaRGB And Supernova Animation (Dale Penkala)

M101 HaRGB And Supernova Animation

Revision title: New Animation

This is a project that I've been working on for several nights. The last couple nights of capture did have the Canadian wildfire smoke which I'm sure affected the data so I did the best I could with it. I think in the end I like the result and plan to do more of a portrait version. In hind sight I think I would have offset the galaxy because I almost think I may have missed some of the very outer area of the galaxy. I collected all my data with my L-Pro pulled the Ha channel in APP and added it back in PM.

Hope you like!

UPDATE:
AFTER THE SN WAS DISCOVERED I’VE BEEN CONTINUING DATA COLLECTION AND I DECIDED TO USE MY ANTLIA ALP-T FILTER TO COLLECT GOOD HA DATA AND INTEGRATE IT WITH THE ALREADY COLLECTED DATA. I’M CURRENTLY AT JUST OVER 22HRS OF DATA NOW (NEVER REALLY INTENDED THAT MUCH FOR THIS ORIGINALLY BUT GLAD I DID) AND I REALLY LIKE THE COLOR OF THE OVERALL GALAXY MUCH BETTER.
THE FINAL ANIMATION IS WITH ALL THE DATA COLLECTED. THEN I TOOK THE IMAGE WITH THE SN IN IT AND SUPERIMPOSED IT WITH A MASK OVER THE FINAL IMAGE SO THAT JUST THE SN WAS ADDED.

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.
