Full Moon Crescent - Redux

I wasn't really happy with the first version so I gave it another go. I have a really bad habit of trying to process images the night that I get the final data. Wacky images can ensue. Original description below:

"I am not sure what to say about this one, probably because it's around 6:40 AM and I am totally wiped out. What can I say, I just had to process this to see what I could get. I am pleased with this picture. We got a nice Crescent Nebula, the Soap Bubble, and some RGB stars to add that extra something. All from bortle 8 under a full moon - hence the title.

This was mostly a test to see if I could leave the rig set up while I was at work. There were a few mishaps such as not plugging in the cooler one night or actually forgetting to press the "go" button on another. Oops.

Oh well, I still got the data!

As for the processing I decided early on that RGB stars were going to be a must. It just adds so much more to any narrowband picture in my opinion. I also wanted to get away from the dull dark reds and browns that tend to come out in pictures taken in this region. As you can see I went with something colourful. Finally when it came to the actual Crescent, I didn't want to cook it too bad in order to preserve the Oiii shroud that seems to obsecure the Ha parts; almost like looking through water."

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.
