M 1 The Crab Nebula LRGBHa

Here's a reprocessed image, a year later and many process improvements, of the Crab Nebula using data taken by Adam Block with the Schulman 32-inch RCOS Telescope at the Mt. Lemmon Skycenter in November and December of 2012, from Adam Block Studios Cosmic Canvas. I hope I did the data justice in the processing of this image.....the calibrated master bias, darks and flats were done with CCDStack and, of course, I use Pixinsight, so that was a bit of a problem to get the RGB and Ha images to calibrate.....but I finally figured out how to do it. There's 5h 45min of RGB @900s/sub and 11h of Ha @1800s/sub. It's GREAT quality data (sub arc second) and once I got the frames to calibrate, it was a heck of a lot of fun to process it a year ago and with the new tools available just a year later, even more fun!
Anyway, hope ya like it!

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.
