NGC 7380 / Wizard Nebula

Captured over a number of nights between clouds to give my new mount a trial run.

I stuck with a more natural (HOO) colour pallette for this one, might revisit in the future and try something different once I've got my technique down.

I unfortunately forgot that my x1 FF back-focus is greater than 55mm and thus the nasty stars in the corners!

2024 Revisit
Owing to the poor weather this year I've been revisitng some of my older images, looking to see if I can improve upon the original edits using everything I've learned (and tools I've acquired) over the past couple of years. I've retained the same framing as the original "final" edit, which is available in the mouse-over image for comparison. No additional data has been added, and I've had to once again attempt to deal with any defects in the original capture.

Specifcally for this image; the original capture is severely lacking in Oiii signal and has extremely poor star quality, with a combination of both incorrect back focus and strong halos.

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.
