Wizard nebula - HOO

Having finalised the Pacman nebula which was the last object I posted the other day, I finally got round to processing this data, and I have reached the conclusion that I need a significantly greater amount of imaging time, to obtain the required OIII data. I am sure my technique may be partly to blame, but even so, OIII capturing is hard work! I am always stuck between being ultra patient and spending lots of nights getting the extra OIII, or SII, data, or getting what I can and then moving on quickly to the next object. I guess I am just seeing what this new camera will do and maybe next season I will focus more deeply upon longer imaging sessions, per object. Anyway, I am very happy with the picture as it is the best I have ever managed of this famous object. I took 69 Has and 61 OIIIs each at 5 minutes in length. Integration time 10 hours and 50 minutes. Take care everyone...

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.
