IC 1805 - The Heart Nebula

The Heart Nebula is one of my favorite targets for multiple reasons. One of the reasons I like this target is because it is rich in all three narrow band signals which works best in my Bortle 8 skies. Another reason is that it is traverse my skies in the Midwest at a very high altitude which makes for good contrasts while imaging it. Overall, I think it is such a wonderful target for amateur astrophotographers such as myself.
After shooting this target a few months ago, I decided to add more time while waiting on another target to rise. I managed to collect another 10 hours over several weeks in November and December, primarily Ha and Oiii. The additional time really does this target justice in addition to better processing procedures since the last time I imaged it. I hope you enjoy! CS

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.
