Hearth nebula for my Mom

I started shooting the Hearth nebula for my Mom. She really loved my first attempt last year. But I felt I needed to capture it much better.

And I finally made it! I got to a quality I deem acceptable

Don't get me wrong there still are issues in my picture. To name a few; halos with OII subs, insufficient exposure leading to black background, a bit of tilt, sharpening and focus and seeing that could be improved.

BUT, sharp, very little noise, lots of details, smooth.

I am happy!

...

for now :')

Please let me know any advise you deem, I am eager for those! It is a demanding hobby and well experience is valuable

Also let me know, if anyone is interested, I will share my entire workflow (very close to detailed wf described in earlier picture, but have learned a few more tricks, especially star mask generation related)... from my balcony in a Bortle-5 zone...

PS: Pour les francophones, commentaires bienvenus. En fait le français est ma langue maternelle, j'ai mis anglais privilégié pour autoriser plus de commentaires.

PS2: Stay safe, healthy and at home ;)

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.
