Revision title: Helix Nebula ( I ) - NGC 7293 (rev II)

Taken during second half of the night with 3/4 moon in the sky and some high clouds/smoke. This was a test run to see what to expect and return during new-moon beginning of September if weather permits.

Title: Helix Nebula (I) - NGC 7293 (rev I)

Description: Thoughts to this revision: Well, using APP to stack subs, implementing StarNet++ and more careful stretches, masking and color adjustments might improve this image overall...but let's be totally honest. When an image lacks data in first place and the object sits so low on the horizon, all good intentions can't make this a winner...
Definitely, an object I will revisit next season.

Description: And yet another revision with yet another new processing software.
I stacked the subs in APP as in previous "B" revision and processed the image this time in Affinity Photo I just acquired. I think this edition came out a little bit better...

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.
