Embracing the Soup - Bubble II: Electric Boogaloo

This data has bedeviled me for more than a year. I took this while in Montreal with with a RedCat51 plagued by camera tilt. I don't know what it is about this particular section of space but I find it to be really "soupy" and tough to get good colours. Maybe its just the fact that I am shooting from the middle of B9, I dunno.

Anyways, I used a lot of new processing techniques and tools for this process. BlurX really came through on this one to try and fix the stars but as you might see by perusing the corners, it is no substitute for a well aligned optical train.

Getting rid of the RedCat51 was the correct move for me. Yes, it is a good telescope but a little 51mm scope shooting at F/4.9 is just way too slow for me.

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.
