Galactic Nebulae in Cygnus @ DSLR Ha - 313 Frames (Wolfgang Zimmermann)

Galactic Nebulae in Cygnus @ DSLR Ha - 313 Frames

Hi Starfriends,

Creating a mosaic in the AstroPixelProcessor (APP) was new territory for me to this extent. In the first attempt I had uploaded all 313 frames into the program. Registration took three days. The software crashed shortly before completion. Insufficient memory. I then contacted APP support. There I was advised to first integrate the individual panels individually. I already had them as 32bit Fits files. I also thanks at Mabula and Daniel Nimmervoll for his contribution. After that it was actually quite easy. The mosaic was created within minutes. Then it was time for the finishing touches in Photoshop.

The field shows many known galactic nebulae in the constellation Cygnus. From the top left it goes from Sh2-119 down to the Tulip Nebula (Sh2-101)

The fields from top left to bottom right:
June 28, 2022 = 53x180s
July 01, 2022 = 60x180s

August 22, 2022 = 65x180s

March 22, 2020 = 57x180s
March 24, 2020 = 21x180s

May 28, 2022 = 57x180s

Thanks for watching and stay healthy

Wolfgang

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.
