NGC6888 HαRGB

I just love the Milky Way, and it is made for the Rasa :-). Had to get up at 3 am in the morning to start the imaging, NGC6888 just passed the tree line. Since the summers are usually very rainy and cloudy in Florida I will try to get as many images early in the morning together of the wonderful objects in the Milky Way. This weekend looks great, I will be up a lot in the night. My wife says I am totally crazy 😂!

I used again the method of no guiding and taking RGB and Hα images at the same time. This time it suffered a bit from this setup, I assume that my mount was not setup perfectly, hence causing some streaks. The overall image is not too bad though, hence posted.

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.
