Deneb (Cygnus α) Region at 35 mm Untracked (Cropped)

This image is a result of 300 light frames, shot with Nikon D90 and AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm F1.8 G on a tripod, at 6 seconds, f/2.5 and ISO 3200, from a Bortle Class 3 sky. All the frames were stacked with Sequator.

It's my first time shooting this region of the sky and I am satisfied with the final image. I love the fact that so many DSOs surround Deneb, offering all these different colors in just one frame.

Deneb is a first magnitude star in the constellation of Cygnus and it's region is a very rich part of the night sky. Standing just right on the milky way, among many deep sky objects, such as star clusters and various types of nebulae. However the most impressive one, is NGC 7000 - The North American Nebula (center of the image). It is a reflection nebula, illuminated by a hot embedded star of magnitude 6, very wide (2 degrees across) and lies 1500 light-years from Earth.

The image was post-processed in PS6.

I hope you enjoy it!
I am looking forward to hearing your comments, so I can get better images!

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.
