Sh2-101 The Tulip Nebula SHO / HSO with RGB Stars

Hello Astro friends,

I am continuing my learning of narrow band imaging and processing with this very lovely nebula. I made big mistake on this one but also learned how to use my camera ! All acquisitions were done at highest dynamic range and I realized that the OIII layer is very weak in signal, so I sould have shot it at unity gain or even higher gain. Now I know... Anyhow after fighting with some gradients issues, I managed to get satisfying result (considering my rooky level of course) and couldn't decide on HSO or SHO so decided to publish both. SHO is to my opinion more contrasted and reveals more details from the nebula and suroundings while the HSO exhibits very nice colors. Both images are combined with RGB stars.

As always, I hope you like it and don't hesitate to drop comments, especialy if you have ideas about how to improve the processing.

Cheers and clear skies.

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.
