Horsehead Nebula trial in SGPro

A year ago today(09/12/2019 21:58) I was trying out Sequence Generator Pro for the First time.

I took 5X300 Lights plus 1X 600 light I did not take any Dark ,Bias or flat frames as it was just a trial to see how SGPRO would preform.

Forgot all about those images until yesterday when my daughter ask what are you doing , I said making space on my hard drive , I opened up the 600x1 image of the Horsehead Nebula in PI to have a quick look and to my surprize looked quite good for 10 minutes I then decided to stack the other five images in Deep Sky Stacker which to my disappointment did not look very good as I had no calibration frames and that was the end of the topic as far as I was concerned.

My Daughter Nagged ( Scottish humour) me to put the image on on Astrobin even low it looked terrible.

What I did next was to use Calibration frames from my Iris Nebula (22/02/2020) what a huge surprise? this made my image a look lot better.

So here is the final image done in PI and photoshop and this one is for my two beautiful daughters for the encouragement.

I hope you enjoy this short image.

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.
