Auriga in Ha

This image is a composite of 32 x 300s taken with my Samyang 135mm + ASI183MM-Pro and 27 x 300s taken at the same time with my RedCat 51 + ASI1600MM-Pro. With the Moon at 97% I thought it best to settle with just Ha rather than spoil a potentially good image with some dodgy OIII and SII.

Processing to achieve a consistent background proved to be a challenge but APP's light pollution removal tool did the trick. Thereafter it was into PI and using Starnet v2 to produce a starless image prior to recombining with a star image processed separately.

If ever we get clear skies here with no Moon I will try to get some OIII and SII to bring some colour to the party. That said the Ha starless image is quite dramatic and shows well the nebulosity in this region.

Thanks for looking. Adrian

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.
