Heart Nebula in Monochrome

This was my target for my Fist Light with my ZWO ASI294MM Pro. Switching to Monochrome is an expensive endeavor, so I started with just the camera, which was a milestone birthday present from my amazing (and supportive) family! I couldn't let my brand new camera sit there unused while waiting on a filter wheel and filters, so I was FORCED to try it out in monochrome... which really has its own beauty. I used the L-Ultimate filter to get the most interesting view from my backyard in a Bortle 7/8.

The Heart Nebula is an emission nebula about 7,500 light years from us, with a radius of 100 light years. It is located in the Perseus Arm of the galaxy within the Cassiopeia constellation.

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.
