Area around IC434 in SHαHß / RGB (Uwe Deutermann)

Area around IC434 in SHαHß / RGB

Revision title: Minor color adjustments and signature

As I did a bit over a year with the achro on the Horse Head I needed to try this approach on a wider field. Used instead of OIII data (which are barely present in this area of the sky) the Hß data and applied it to the blue channel. For this maybe most famous target of the sky something different is always a good thing 😊. I wanted to work a bit longer on this image this week, but when my wife came into my office and saw it (in full size across 2 monitors) and said "I want this one on the family room wall" I knew that I had to stop processing 😊, this honor was not given out ever so far 😊😊. Now I do not know what to do on today's holiday 😂.
Standard SHO processing was applied. Maybe most interesting extra processing step was a DBE on the already stretched and combined image, which for some reason I thought was maybe not a bad idea, and it turned out to make the image more special (IMHO of course).

Title: Corrected Stars

Description: Although I love this image as it was, I was unhappy about the stars at the edges since the reducer caused quite some distortion, maybe my back focus was not perfect either. And when Thilo just recently commented on this image I remembered that I took another image of the area with the ASKAR 400 (https://www.astrobin.com/7wgj2l/), and yes, just "steal" the stars from this image and recombine, with a little BXT on top. Not perfect but the "bad stars" are gone 😊.

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.
