NGC 7000 North America Nebula & IC 5070 Pelican Nebula

Une region riche en hydrogène ionisé (HII) que j'attendais de pouvoir capturer depuis mes débuts en astrophotographie l'an passé. J'ai eu de la chance vendredi que la météo soit de la partie!

Situé à 3° de Deneb (a Cyg), cet immense nuage interstellaire (NGC 7000 est plus de 4x la taille de la pleine Lune) est en fait ionisé par les étoilés situées derrière lui. Ces fameuses figures sont composées par la présence de nuages de poussière qui absorbent la lumière vue depuis la Terre.

A rich ionized hydrogen region (HII) I have been waiting to image since I started astrophotography last year. So I was pretty lucky last Friday as the weather finally decided to play with!

Located about 3° apart from Deneb, this huge interstellar cloud (NGC 7000 is 4 time the size of full Moon) is actually ionized by stars behind it. Those famous shapes are made by dust clouds that absorb light as seen from Earth.

Description: In this new version I tried to
- use PhotometryColorCalibration
- optimize Star_mask for MorphTransformation and Deconvolution
- add LocalHistogramTransformation process
- adjust colors w/ CurveTransformation

Description: I guess this is my best attempt so far : sharper resolution in star field and color balance looks much natural... Feedback and appreciation are welcome ;-)

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.
