IC 1318 - Gamma Cygni Nebula around Sadr

A few late nights recently, but it's been fun to get the most out of the final hours of astro darkness and a bonus of no moon around either!

This region is so rich with detail and structure within the nebulosity. I'm amazed - and very pleased - with the result after a modest integration time. With additional time I could be more selective on the subs I kept - I had to be careful here not to cut to much.

With a fairly balanced capture of Ha, OIII and SII I felt I had so many options open on palette choice. This is obviously SHO based and I wanted to leave (even) more green in but resisted

I sometimes feel myself getting lost on the colour options and combinations I can use. When I look again at this one I'm sure a re-coloured revision will be required

The lower right hand side can also be seen in the top right on a recent image I uploaded here.

Thanks for looking.

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.
