Pickerings Triangle HaOIIIRGB

Pickerings Triangle, the lesser photographed part of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant. It actually has no NGC classification number, although NGC 6979 is sometimes used. This portion of the Cygnus loop was discovered in 1904 by Willamina Fleming, but credited to Edward Pickering, the director of her observatory. This was customary back in that time.

I tried this object last year but was not happy with the data as my timing and clear skies happen to occur during some extremely hot and smoky filled(forest fires) days. This year, the skies cooperated and was able to capture some decent data.

Still cant beat the Halos with the OIII filter unfortunately, but I don't think its to distracting in this image. Let me know what you think, always looking to improve!

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.
