Bat Nebula NGC 6995

I am working through my backlog of data acquired earlier this summer with the TEC140/QSI690 combination. In August we switched out the QSI690 and installed a new QHY268M with Chroma filters and I’m looking forward to processing the new data in the weeks to come. Steve has already processed our ‘first light’ with a fine and sharp Pickering’s Triangle here https://www.astrobin.com/su4tcc/C/?nc=user.

We also managed to “retire” our wide field rig FSQ106/GM1000HPS/QSI683 as a complete system . . . good luck Paul and thank you Rupert from Astrograph.net/E-Eye. I have an FSQ106 mounted in my home observatory and I just need to sort out my camera choices.

I have processed an HOORGB and a blend of the SHORGB/HOORGB data, though my favourite is the HOORGB retaining a small portion of the green hue from the Ha. The Bat Nebula has fascinating ribbons of gas and forms part of the larger Veil Complex.

Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to add the Astrodon SII 3nm filter to the equipment list with the new database system; 24 x 1200s. This gives a total integration of 35hr 25m.

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.
