NGC 3718

Revision title: Reprocessed LRGB (RC10+C11EdgeHD stars)

This is the 3rd image in 3 nights. The clouds are returning... The same config as the previous 2 nights. The 2600mcPro on the C11EdgeHD and the 2600mmPro on the RC10. This image however I did combine the Lum image with stars intact for spikes. The reason for the lack of color in the spikes is the Celestron doesn't have spikes to record color data. Standard LRGB workflow. Both cameras captured subs in a 2x2bin mode so I 3x drizzled during the stacking in PI. I might have been too aggressive on the saturation...

Description: Laptop that did image processing died on the TSE 2024 trip and I purchased a new laptop with an OLED screen. Wow, what a screen. Was never happy with the processing on this image. This is the effort with a new monitor...

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.
