North America Nebula (NGC 7000)

First light with the L-eXtreme filter and first attempt trying to process an image in the pseudo Hubble Palette. This was my backup. I was going to go across the street and try to capture Rho Ophiuchus with 50 mm lens and iOptron Sky-guider Pro. Didn't feel comfortable due to the wind (about 8-10 mph) even though it was predicted to settle down after midnight. So I setup the imaging rig on the more sturdy EQ6-R Pro. Decided to try out the L-eXtreme and wasn't expecting to get n image. Was able to get autofocus and plate solving working. messed around with exposure settings while waiting for NGC 7000 to rise high enough. Started imaging around midnight. Wind settled down and guiding was excellent. Data looked really good so kept going until 3 am. I really struggled with processing this as a "straight RGB image". Tried the "Hubble palette" for dual narrowband techniques. After multiple attempts the result is (by far) my best image. Super excited!!

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.
