Revision title: Croman Revision

Since my Cygnus targets are starting to move into the daytime, I have about 3 hours of garbage time at the end of each night to move on to other constellations. I've always been fascinated by the dark dust fractals in this object, so here's my first mono attempt at it.

Title: Croman Revision

Description: Man, I'd forgotten how hard it was to process shots from my Bortle 8 here at home from the C11. The Croman tools help, but even they couldn't save the stars from the Celestron dew-heater spikes. I'm glad these days are behind me and I look forward to shooting this target again with the CDK12 next fall.

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.
