Gamma Cygni Nebula (SHO, HSO & Ha)

Revision title: HSO Image

I captured just under 6 hours of data a couple of night ago, would have been closer to 8 hours if clouds had not rolled in, which is why I have so little OIII & Su images as I had to delete a ton of them. I wanted to capture more before posting but looks like we may not have clear skies for another week or more, so I am going with what I have. I attended to process a mostly Ha image but played with the Hubble Palette and really liked the way the image turned out. I know many people aren't big fans of the fake colors, but you can see why NASA uses it, you can just see more detail in the dust lanes with the SHO data.

This area consists of multiple patches of nebulosity surrounding the star Gamma Cygni or Sadr. This area features lot of stars, dark dust clouds, glowing nebulae and an open star cluster (NGC 6910). Gamma Cygni isn't actually in the nebula as it is estimated to be 750 light years away, where IC1318 & NGC 6910 are between 2,000 to 5,000 light years away located deep in the Orion arm of our galaxy.

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.
