My old friend the Tarantula Nebula has started rising again in the early hours of the morning...enough to catch just under 3 hours of exposures... Ideally I'd like to have at least triple the integration I have here, but have a new flatenner for my larger APM130 scope to get setup and so wont be returning to this area and this smaller scope for some time, so posting what I have for now.

Stacked in APP into Ha, OIII and SII channels and recombined and processed in Startools as SHO - given the limited integration time binned at 50% to improved signal to noise. I also combined in APP and the resulting TIFF I merged with the Startools result here and tweaked to taste in PS. I find I prefer the quality of the stars doing this.

Description: have doubled the integration time with another near 3hours of Ha and OIII... helps with noise management and had a different slant on colour in this process, but perhaps not quite the same fine detail as in the original.

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.
