A revisit of some old data. Originally intended to be part of a collaboration which never panned out, and more of a test because at the time I was missing filters and so still waiting to put together a full EFW for the 2600MM. But even for the limited integration, I found the target interesting.

Color was captured by a full spectrum mod D5300 with L-eNhance duoband, and that was augmented by "luminance" acquired with the 2600MM, also through the L-eNhance. Stacking plus various scaling, extractions, recompositions, and final composition and processing were performed with ASTAP and StarTools.

Fairly minimal processing modules were thrown at this. After gradient wipe and global stretch, I used HDR to dig out some detail in the bright portions of the Crescent, SVD deconvolution, Color (as bicolor HOO, with no Ha throttling or OIII boost), followed by a minor denoise. The busy star field was embraced, with no usage of SS, shrink, or other techniques to push back the stars.

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.
