Narrative:
Living in a European capital where the light pollution is king (when the northern sea weather do not pretend to the throne...), and where observing the night sky is hardened due to multiple obstacles (Trees, neighbors, aircraft traffic...), Astrophotography is often frustrating and rarely rewarding.
That being said, few hours of clear night sky can be enough to make you abandon the couch confort et get the hardware deployed outside !
We had 2 consecutive clear nights lately, and the Heart and Soul nebulas were one of the only deep sky objects visible long enough from my backyard to collect enough HSO data, considering the short window opportunity.

This is my first ambitious attempt with HSO photography and Hubble palette.

The naming was an original idea of our informal astro club team member Florent Boyer ;)

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.
