The Great North America Nebula and a little Pelican - NGC7000 from bortle 5

I am blown away by this image, and I hope you like it. Being a bit lazy and making all kinds of excuses, I image mainly from my backyard observatory in Houston - Bortle 9. I decided to branch out a little, and took this image from Brazos Bend State Park which at just 40 miles from where I live has a beautiful Bortle 5 sky. The George Observatory is in this park. I used a decent portable setup with the Rainbowastro, a WO Spacecat 51 (grey version of the famous redcat), and the ASIAIR and ZWO family of cameras. This is the result of 2 hours under a fairly decent moon, just using an IR/UV cut filter. I cannot achieve this from my home backyard observatory. No way! I would have to take at least 3x as much subs and the results would not compare. Humidity was about 97%, and even though the night started quite clear, the sky got muggier just around 11 pm. Still, I think the results are decent. Please critique and enjoy.

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.
