The Lagoon Nebula in HOO and SHO (Messier 8)

Revision title: SHO Reprocessed

The Lagoon Nebula is very low in the horizon here in Huntington Beach so I didn't get as much data as I'd like. One thing I'm noticing is that I need to upgrade my filters. The ZWO O3 filter is really driving me mad with its star halos and streaking across the frame for bright objects. Not something I see in the data for the other ZWO filters. Wondering if I just got a bum filter...

Update:
I reprocessed the images with Linear Defect Correction unchecked in WBPP per info I found on Cloudy Nights and it looks like I didn't need to sell my ZWO filters afterall...

Description: Reprocessed the same way but removing the Linear Defects Correction unchecked in WBPP. Maybe I didn't need to get rid of my ZWO filters after all...

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.
