The Gamma Cygni nebula IC1318
Time to wake the gear up from summer sleep, even though the night skies are still a little to bright for deep sky imaging.
The bright star is Sadr, γ (gamma) Cygni, the central star in the Northern Cross, an astrism that is a part of the constellation, Cygnus.
The nebula lies in a distance of 4900 lightyears from us and the star Sadr in a distance of 1800 ly from us.
The Swan was a disguise the mythological god, Zevs, used to visit princess Leda of Sparta and make some babies.
I set the 61mm up on my terrace to collect some old and far traveled light, a couple of hours around midnight, and since my terrace have a roof, I got the possibility to test the Asiair All sky polar alignment.
So far I`m not convinced, as I ran into some guiding problems in the dec axis and had to throw away a lot of due to elongated stars.
The tracking in RA was fine, 1" or less, but dec axis did some weird travels in both directions.

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.
