The Rosette Nebula Core - Animal Farm

Exotic and mythical animals parade in the core of the Rosette Nebula.

This image is a combination of two different datasets with different scopes (Takahashi FSQ106ED4 and Esprit150) and different cameras (QSI690 and ZWO ASI1600)

The Ha data used as Luminance was acquired with the Esprit150 and the QSI690 camera. The aim of the post-processing was to enhance and unveil the Bok globules and dark structures and the 3D field depth of the core of the Rosette Nebula. The Animal Farm is a reference to the George Orwell allegorical masterpiece :-)

..."The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, however, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon"...

Update: Revision D - Reprocessed from scratch - less noise reduction and more tone mapping using starnet++ to unveil faint details

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.
