F Pup and the Dark nebula - in progress (weird colours anyway)

Complicated field around the star F Puppis, an area dominated by gas and a dark nebula, [DB2002b] G251.69-12.17 -- Dark Cloud (nebula). The dark nebula appear in a kind of dark greenish colour and is not easy to determine its extension. Also close to the star F-Pup it seems to be another small brown dark zone. It would be interesting to image the area with another larger tube.

The image is also quite noisy, the weather was not helping, it was quite misty and the data was taken trough 3 consecutive nights as the clouds came in, a bit after midnight, every day. Dew point was quite high.
I am waiting to improve the weather, to double the integration time, and see if the funny greenish changes into a darker colour, also with less contribution from LP.

I kept almost identical stretching process and colour treatment, as in other images, so I found weird the colours here, except for the increase in LP, as with poor seeing due to misty conditions makes the sky very bright by the lights of the city, and from the nearby industrial sites (that enjoy illuminating the sky rather than the ground).

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.
