Species 6914

NGC 6914 An interesting bit in the Cygnus region - In this representation looks to me like a crazy blue eyed alien beast from another dimension , hence the title which is a slight hat tip to Star Trek Voyager (Species 8472)

I first came across this when doing a wide field with my Redcat 51 and DSLR about this time last year (during our first lock down)

I thought I would take a closer look

I took Ha, Oiii , Green and Blue .... Ended up just using the Ha and Oiii in a biclour combi with a synthetic green channel

Taken over about five nights in the last couple of weeks

3 hours Ha, 4 hours Oiii

Virtually nothing in Oiii or Blue apart from a hint around the reflection nebula

Only bad event during capture was on the last night my aging laptop turned it self off for some reason toward the end of the run so NINA could not send commands to park and ended up with a scope bash on the tripod ... hopefully not too damaging to the tracking on the mount ... supposed to be clear tonight so we will see

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.
