Helix Nebula (NGC7293, Narrowband)

Revision title: New processing (v2)

I first managed to get a very short session on the Helix Nebula on the 14th Nov, and then the clouds set in until yesterday (10 days later). I got some more time yesterday night, although it's very low in the sky and had to wait for it go go past my house and neighbour's roofs. I used the Optolong L-Ultimate 3nm dual-band filter with my FLT 91 (1x flattener) and ZWO 2600MC Pro.

I'll upload two versions, one processed as per original HOO colours and then a simulated SHO palette. The image is cropped to focus on the nebula.

Thanks for looking.

Clear skies.

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.
