The Orion & Running-man Nebulae Shootout continues:
Same data from late Jan. early Feb. 2022, stacked and integrated, pre post processing, in APP and final post processing in Pixinsight. Same workflow routine as the previous stack from Pixinsight. I personally feel the APP stacked data in this case resulted in a far superior quality final image, keeping intact (without blowing up the core of Orion) the details and producing a much sharper final image. The pictures are worth a thousand words, you be the judge of the APP stacked image vs Pixinsight stacked image, side by side, post processed with exactly the same routine in Pixinsigh, and touched up in Paintshop pro towards the end for clarity and vibrancy..
Original Equipment used: SW ED100 esprit Triplet Apo on HEQ5 Pro mount, ZWO 183MC Pro main cam and ZWO 120mini guidecam, ASI Air Pro, Optolong UHC filter, dew heater straps and powered by two Jackery packs.

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.
