Image from the last clear nights of 2023. Despite almost full moon I managed to get some OIII signal. Despite that, I am happy with the final result, as the Ha and SII signal were quite strong and together it rendered quite a fine details in the nebulosity. This time no RGB data for the stars, as the last night the N.I.N.A. lost all data for the focusing, and I had to set it again losing quite a lot of time, HFR was about 4 in the Ha channel (due to the strong moonlight?), and in the middle of the night, the computer re-started by itself. So many issues that night that I decided to stop it, and then clouds came to stay for a while. I hope that next clear night I can get all running well again...

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.
