M97, the Owl Nebula in HOOS

Here is M97 from a bunch of old Telescope Live One Click Observations that I've had sitting for quite some time, so I decided to see what I could do with them. Coming from the SPA-2 setup means they are a bit more noisy and less sharp (dithering is almost a must on that one), but I started to get the faint outer gas around it. I think it really needs a bunch of 10 minute exposures to pull that off rather than 5 minute exposures. I did an HOOS on it with Ha as 100% red, Oiii as 100% blue and 67% green, and Sii as 33% green

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.
