Revision title: NGC 6823

Located in the constellation Vulpecula, NGC 6823 is a small open cluster of stars associated with a large emission nebula known as NGC 6820.
Wiki: Open star cluster NGC 6823 is about 50 light-years across and lies about 6,000 light-years away. The center of the cluster formed about two million years ago and is dominated in brightness by a host of bright young blue stars.
The most striking feature is the trunk like pillar of dust and gas protruding from the east side of the nebula towards the open cluster in the center.

The blue area in the center is composed of faint Oiii. It took a lot of trickery to bring the blue to life, I used the Oiii master as a mask to remove red and green and then pulled the blue out with CurvesTransformation. The shade of blue isn't what I was hoping for but for now it will do.

Revision E:
I couldn't get the blue to look right so I reprocessed it and didn't pull the blue out.

Latest Revision:
This is a very difficult image for me to process. The Oiii signal was very weak so I gave up on pulling blue out of the center.
This latest version looks more realistic to me even though I'm not crazy about it.

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.
