The Wizard Nebula NGC 7380

Revision title: Starless Cropped

This is my very 1st image where I was able to work with Starnet ++ and actually get a pleasing image (to me). It took me a couple days to get it figured out and I know that it can get better but practice makes perfect. I've seen many others here on AB with stunning images using this technique so I had to give it a try.

All data processed in APP using the RGB-1 algorithm. I'm working on an RGBHSO version of this image and will be posting as soon as I'm done with it.

Thanks for looking!

Description: I have never been very happy with any of the SHO versions until now. Worked on a process for the colors and I'm pleased with the amount of detail in this image. Hope you like this version!

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.
