IC-1396 in HSO & HOO

This is my attempt at an HSO version of the Elephant Trunk Nebula. I've seen so many beautiful images of this and wanted to give it a try. I'm working on an HOO version as well and will post it when I'm done with it. That is, if I like it enough.

I had all moonless nights to collect data, and I'm very happy how clean it was.
I collected data over 4-5 nights for a total of 16hrs. I had 17hrs but after sorting the data I ended up loosing some due to early morning dawn.
Processed in APP using the HSO 1 algorithm, and post processed in PI and Gimp.

As always, comments good or bad are welcome!

Title: Processed in HOO

Description: While I like the HSO version of this image, there is just something about this one that I just love! It holds up to the "full resolution" quite well. I hope you like as much as I do.

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.
