UPDATE

Version F- I am done trying to squeeze more nebulosity out of this image .....time to move on.

Version E- Took a completely different approach, producing what I think displays the outer shell better and more detail of the core with almost a 3-D look.

----------------------------------------------
It has been a long time since I took a look at this simple beauty. Messier 27, a classic DSO that so many of us attempt when we are first learning astrophotography, and rightfully so. It is bright and provides very strong HA and OIII signals. I actually collected some SII data but decided not to use it, except to make the fake RGB stars as I didn't have enough time to collect RGB data for the stars. This object does not look nearly as nice in a SHO palette as it does in HOO. Collecting more Ha and OIII data would provide more of its outer shells, but we are entering a long cloudy period in Florida that might last a few weeks. So, this is sufficient for me.

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.
