Cederblad 51 HaRGB

Revision title: Colour Balance

There are so many delights in Orion and I'm trying to capture as many as possible whilst the Hunter is still visible. This region in the head of Orion spans Barnard's Loop. Cederblad 51 is the blue reflection nebula near the centre which is surrounded by various LDN and Barnard dark structures together with areas of Hydrogen Alpha emissions.

This started as a RGB project but I decided to include my filter wheel in my imaging train so I could take some Ha with my OSC camera. The experiment was a success although I need to capture more (hopefully soon).

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.
