NGC6888 two days after full moon from Bortle 8

I decided to image this really just to test out my new Antlia ALP-T highspeed filter, and wow- I am amazed by the results. My house is in a white zone about 30 minutes from NYC surrounded by LED lighting. Transparency was average to below average, and it was two days after the (super) full moon. The Antlia filter appears to be a real game-changer. Previously I had tried an NBZ filter from my skies and the results led me to think OSC was just not possible from here. I'm very happy to be proven wrong. The optics and the high quality of the IMX571 sensor help as well. I'll definitely be using this setup for the rest of the summer.

While I would normally like to add more to this data to get more out of the image, I decided to post this now to show how well the ALP-T can perform even under very bad skies. Also, it's not going to be clear here again for a while so I have no idea when I'll get to put more into this target.

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.
