NGC 7000, The North America Nebula - First Narrowband Image

My first monochrome and first narrowband image, taken with my new Starlight Xpress Trius SX-814. I'm completely stunned by how clean the data is compared to my DSLR. Watching the raw subs come straight off the camera looking as good as they did was awesome. Only shot Ha on my first night, because of a nearly full moon, and just to keep it simple. I also figured it was my best chance at a decent image in a single night.

This was also the debut of a new lodestar X2 and OAG (bought as a kit), which is life changing. Despite using an OAG, the SNR on my guide stars with this camera was orders of magnitude better than my SSAG/guide scope combo.

I also discovered that the tiny stars that come with narrowband imaging present difficulties in generating star masks and thus de-ringing support for deconvolution. Something I will still have to figure out. More stars than I would like have ugly little rings...

Description: Captured OIII last night and decided to reprocess the Ha from scratch, this time performing a far better deconvolution that wasn't totally destructive to the stars.

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.
