Widefield Veil from the City

We moved into a new house in central Portland Oregon a few months ago. I wasn't sure I'd be able to image from here given the small yard and bright lights. But narrowband to the rescue!

This is primarily narrowband data taken with a QHY367C (Yes, that's a color camera), using a dual band Ha/OIII filter. Bandpass for both is about 10nm which is great for a dual band filter but worrisome shooting in the city. To get some color in the stars I added some color data I had shot from a nearby dark site. So the color is 50% NB and 50% broadband while the luminance channel is Ha/OIII.

75 300 second narrowband subs were used, total of 3.75 hours. Ain't CMOS grand?!

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.
