Cygnus Region – Wide-Field Mosaic

Link: http://deepskyview.de

This is the central part of the constellation Cygnus, including Deneb and Sadr as main stars, covering a field of about 13 by 10 degrees. This image focusses on the rich H-alpha nebulosity in this region. In contains some of the famous emission nebulae, e.g. the North America Nebula, the Pelican Nebula, and the Crescent Nebula. However, what I find even more exciting is the sheer mass of nebulosity that covers the whole fields with dramatic ripples and dark lanes.

This is the first light for my new "enforced H-alpha" filter from Baader with a width of 3.5nm, works extremely well with the Samyang 135mm lens and the ATIK 460ex camera - no halos and very clean subs. At the same time it is my first attempt at an larger wide-field mosaic. This image is a 3 x 3 mosaic composed in Pixinsight using the MosaicByCoordinantes and GradientMergeMosaic tools. I was a bit worried about combining this mosaic, but it turned out to be really straight-forward. Apart from this I only used MureDenoise, LocalHistogramEqualization and simple HistogramTransformations - no masks or star magic involved.

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.
