Sh2-94 - HOO

Revision title: Slightly brightened

I have never taken an image of this before, and it was a very difficult object to choose. I underestimated things! One of the problems was the lack of data in both Ha and OIII, mainly because of high cloud floating across many subs. I actually bought Star Xterminator just prior to imaging this, and it was a lifesaver. I do not think I could have processed this without it, and whilst I have not done a side by side comparison with Starnet2, which I often use, I think this AI empowered software is better. This was 52 Has and 48 OIIIs, each sub at 4 minutes exposure time - my hope was actually for about another 20 subs per filter. This equates to an integration time of 6 hours and 40 minutes. I am really pleased with the image because it is a bit different than standard nebula pictures, and because it required quite a bit of inventive thinking to bring forth the data enough, without overly stretching it and thus wrecking the image in the fainter regions. I fully intended to take the SII data of the eagle nebula that I was working on from the other day, but the wind was too strong for the RC - maybe tonight though?! Thanks everyone. Simon

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.
