M27 in HOO (Uwe Deutermann)

M27 in HOO

Revision title: Reprocessed from scratch for the core

What to do with a special present of a Florida summer night having clear skies? Well ... go for the known brighter targets, since the chance of having one night only is very very high. Since I was not completely happy with my last try on M27 I chose it for the night. Getting all the gear setup from scratch (since in the summer time I get everything inside) and hope that there will be no pop up shower or even thunderstorm. The forecast was good, but I do not trust those enough, hence i stayed up as long as possible, watching the radar closely. All went well, here the result. Summer nights are on top of it short, hence not an exorbitant integration time, but I think for M27 quite enough.
A comparison image with my 2020 try is shown in version C. I am actually liking it better now, yes, I think that the new image is better (especially the stars), but that seems to be more a processing advantage than the data themselves. I will try to integrate the old and the new data, let's see if this will work. If it does it will be version D 😊.

Title: Reprocessed from scratch for the core

Description: As mentioned in several comments, and also my view, the core of the original image just did not reveal enough details. This was caused mainly to the dominant OIII channel (when can you say that 😊) suppressing the Hα contributions. Hence I went back to the raw stacked images and stretched the Hα channel much more than the OIII. As expected, the core came out better, while the surrounding wings dimmed down. I composed an image out of the original and newly created one and this is the result.

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.
