This is a work-in-progress, but I'm proud to put this image on here, it marks about 5 years since my very first M42.

But thats not all that makes this image is special- Take notice of the reflection nebulae below M43. The rightmost one, HOPS 56, has re-emerged from the cloud of dust that it has been veiled in for nearly a decade (it was about 1.2" towards M43 8 years ago according to a VLT HAWK-I image). An excellent display of stellar motion!

HDR failed to integrate properly in Pixinsight, had to go back to the good ol fashioned way- GIMP and Patience!

I am extraordinarily happy with the final result.

Turns out I had incorrectly labeled this as an NIR composition- which is not the case, I had forgot to add the NIR data.

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.
