Revision title: 10 months more PixInsight skill on old data.

I finally got a chance to get some colour data for my M78 that I started in November.

This image is a combination of 80x300s L frames from my SBIG ST8300M ccd, and 19x180s OSC frames from the PlayerOne Artemis C Pro.

Its got a long way to go before it's finished, but finally - there is some colour!

Description: As with the Lum only image, here's my M78 data from November/December last year, revisited with 10mths more knowledge in PixInsight. The difference in the result is quite astounding!

Thanks to the community for all the assistance in the learning process.

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.
