IC 1295 W/RGB Stars

Revision title: Cropped Version

I learned of this object from an AB friend Eddie AKA @Starman609 and decided to give it a go. Honestly I'm not all that pleased with it but it does look pretty cool. It was a very difficult object at my latitude! barely clears my observatory walls and with a 12" scope down in that muck it really doesn't help matters. At any rate it was a fun object to capture and I'm glad Eddie turned me on to it! Thanks buddy!

I started the data collection in NB on 8/30/23 and finally got the RGB data for star color finished up on the 8th, but because of my late parents estate sale I finally had time to get this finished up. I know it’s not top notch but I do hope you like this one as it is a cool planetary to image. The one thing I will draw to your attention is when I was processing the NB starless layer I noticed a cool little blotch at the 9 O'clock position. It reminded me as if someone was blowing a kiss in the winter time. I also like the wide field version just because of the beautiful globular cluster NGC 6712 in the bottom right hand corner of the image.

Thanks for looking!

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.
