Preprocessing & Mosaic Combination:
- Darks, Flats calibration
- CC, Subframe Selection Weights
- Star Align, Drizzle Integration (Hα only)
- Star Align & Gradient Merge Mosaic

Housekeeping:
- Crop
- DBE
- LFit R, B to G
- RGB Combine
- HDR Composition for RGB, Hα, Oiii to recover clipped detail

RGB Processing:
- DBE
- Photometric CC
- HSV Star Repair

Luminance / Narrowband Processing:
- Multiple passes Deconvolution targeting nebula and smaller stars
- Downsample to match image sizes
- Blended broadband stars onto starless Hα image to form Master Luminance
- Rista method TGVD, MMT
- Masked Stretch + HT
- Another pass of MMT
- Several passes Unsharp Mask
- Final LNR using ACDNR

NB Combination to Broadband RGB:
- Hα and Oiii (M42 panel only) isolated from RGB continuum
- Hα applied to R, G for contrast boost of Red / Burnt Orange interstellar dust
- Hα applied in brighter areas of B to simulate Hß
- Oiii applied to G, B in M42 area, particularly in brighter core area to maintain Teal color
- DBE

HRGBO Processing:
- Rista method TGVD, MMT
- Masked Stretch, Histogram Stretch
- Several Unsharp Mask passes
- Rista method ACDNR
- Multiple LRGB Combination passes

Final Processing:
- Star Reduction via Adam Block script, then additional MorphTrans application
- Additional Masked Stretch application
- Saturation of Nebula, stars
- Additional Unsharp Mask passes
- Numerous Curves/HT color tweaks
- Isolated blue star halos and ran heavy MMT + SCNR to reduce sensor/grid artifacts
- Annotation

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.
