M76 - HST Style

Though this is an HOO treatment, rather than Hubble's NOO version, I attempted to emulate the style of the HST team when rendering this image. There are a ton of teal and red versions of this out there, so I thought it might be a refreshing departure from the norm. You be the judge. I also went as deep as I could on this during the new moon because I have often seen hints of a lot more going on around this little gem. Sure enough, there are some very faint shock waves that came through nicely under very dark conditions. So I think spending precious new-moon time on this particular narrowband target rather then going for something broadband was a good decision. I've posted a more traditional, wider field version as a revision.

Here's a screenshot of the HST version for comparison:

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.
