M 27 - Dumbbell Nebula - EdgeHD 9.25 - ASI1600MM - RGB - CEM60 - Voyager

Nice to see some of the faint blue outer nebulosity.

23 hours of data. I collected over 50 hours total of R, G, B, L, S, H and O but ended up just using the RGB. I didn't
get any added value with the other.

My home-built scheduler had a bug and I ended up gathering 2.5 times as much R data as G and B :-\ !
R - 816 minutes
G - 256 minutes
B - 300 minutes

Data was collected in my backyard observatory between July 2020 and October 2021 using Voyager and a DIY scheduler.
I am running Voyager Advanced now, which has a built-in scheduler and is a very nice upgrade from my homebrew one.

Calibrated with Siril, stacked and post-processed in PI and PS.
No noise reduction was used.
Just RGB combine, PhotoColorCalibration, HistogramTransformation.
HDRMT and LHE. Curves to increase color saturation and also to boost contrast in the B channel.
SCNR to get the Green out.
Bodoni tools in PS - increase star color and decrease star size.

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.
