Rosette Nebula Widefield (SHO)

Not many options for widefield narrowband targets in January, so I opted for another go at the Rosette Nebula. This time, I decided to also capture the HII region that snakes away from the main part of Rosette, giving it a wormhole appearance. I opted for 10-minute exposures to go as deep as possible from my light polluted skies, but that pretty much put me at the limit with 5nm bandpass filters and Bortle 7+ skies. I think I would have fared better from darker skies or even with 3nm filters...but dark skies are not easy to get to and those tight bandpass filters sure are expensive!

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.
