NGC7000 wide SHO

What a fabulous region for us to image and enjoy even for us backyard warriors! I may have to capture year after year...like Andromeda. This is the widest I've captured on this target and at first I thought I had an optical issue as there appears to be a vertical fairly straight line demarkation on the right side, but checking other wide shots...this is real. Makes me wonder what's going on.

I wanted to capture the star fields that abound...they are RGB and I tried not to overdue their saturation. I'm really happy with the stars and love the star image. The ASKAR300 with the 6200MM is truly impressive even at full resolution and has continued to exceed my expectations. I did drizzle at 1.3x. The only drawback are the file sizes 🤪. The individual stacked channels are 556MBs after slight cropping; the SHO combined file is 665MBs; the individual subs are 122MBs; the original JPG file is 71MBs...I reduced the resolution down to 20MBs for this post. Hey, but hard drives are cheap...right? Oh yeah, processing is a slow bitch-kitty even on my 20 core Intel I9 iMac.

I will be on a non-astro trip (Iceland) next 10 days and my not be astrobin responsive. 🤪 -john

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.
