Revision title: a little warmer

This was a frustrated plan B shot that eventually turned out really well -- my dark site had dew and frost on night 1 and wind on night 2 of my two night trip, which benched my 200mm newtonian, which I was hoping to play with this time! For a fair amount of the week I also was convinced that the data I collected for this was a dud, but I finally got the colors where I wanted and then it just popped for me! Really pleased with how this turned out. It's about 9 hours (I had 12, but some high clouds decided otherwise) shot at ~f/2.5 (with stop rings) with my Rokinon 135mm and ASI533MC Pro. 240 and 300" exposures.

If I can ever get a good week straight of clear sky in a row (a very tall order these days, thanks to endless El Niño) I may add Ha to this for cigar, but happy how it turned out as is!

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.
