49H on VEIL NEBULA MOSAIC, HOO & RGB Stars (Benoit SAINTOT)

49H on VEIL NEBULA MOSAIC, HOO & RGB Stars

This image is the result of a desire to reveal the maximum level of detail in the Cygnus Veil Nebula using a purely amateur instrument.
It is comprised of a total of 49 hours of exposure time, spread across 2 mosaics, including approximately 13 hours and 30 minutes in Hydrogen-Alpha, 9 hours in Oxygen-III, and a bit more than 2 hours of RGB data for the stars, all of this on each panel.
The image captures were taken over a period of 3 weeks because I aimed to prioritize only those nights when the target was at an altitude of more than 60/70 degrees, in order to obtain the cleanest possible signal.
The equipment used is within the realm of amateur astronomy, consisting of an FRA400 telescope equipped with an ASI 2600MM, all mounted on a ZWO AM5. This is a mobile setup ,no fixed observatory, and it was all captured under the Picardie sky, teaching you the value of patience...
Enjoy !

Cette image est le résultat d'un souhait de vouloir révéler le maximum de détails dans les Dentelles du Cygne, avec simplement du matériel amateur.
Elle est constituée d'un total de 49h d'exposition, répartie sur une mosaïque de deux panneaux, qui comprennent chacun environ 13h30 de Hydrogène-Alpha, 9 heures d'Oxygène-III, et un peu plus de 2 heures de données RGB pour les images, tout ceci pour chaque panneau
Les brutes ont été capturées sur une période de 3 semaines au total, car je souhaitais ne privilégier que les périodes de la nuit où la cible était à plus de 60°/70° d'altitude, afin d'obtenir le signal le plus propre possible.
L'équipement utilisé est à la portée d'un astronome amateur, puisqu'il est composé d'une FRA400 équipée d'une ASI2600MM, le tout monté sur une zwo AM5. C'est un setup mobile, je n'ai pas de poste fixe, et tout ceci a été capturé sous le ciel de Picardie, qui vous apprend à être patient ...
Merci pour vos retours !

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.
