Witch's Broom and Pickering's Triangle

This was taken during a trip to South Llano River State Park in Texas. This was my first light and attempt at Narrowband imaging and using a monochrome camera. It was cool switching back and forth between the OIII and Ha images to see the differences. For this image I only acquired Ha and OIII and used the HOO palette to get the red and blue. Then my colorblind family said it looked good, but told me they didn't realize there was even red in the image until I told them. They could only see the blue. I had to spend some time trying to figure out what combination of Ha and OIII would be the most visible. I tried a whole slew of dual narrowband palettes until it was agreed that HHO was the most visible with a blue and yellow look. Now I'm going to have to process every narrowband image twice just so that my family can actually see 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.
