One Night North America and Pelican Nebula SHO

A quick one night project during the perpetual cloudy nights. this one turned out better than expected with below average seeing and transparency. I plan to add more data to this object and may shoot it with the 294 mm and use the GHS script to compare.

The North America Nebula, NGC 7000, is a hydrogen emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The nebula pretty easily resembles the North American land mass. The cygnus wall portion, Mexico area, is a dense area star formation that is highlighted in the image. The nebula is almost 2,600 light years from earth and measures 90 light years from top to bottom.

IC 5070 Pelican Nebula: The nebula is the famous counter part to the North American Nebula in Cygnus near the bright star Deneb that is high in the Summer sky. The nebula is located an estimated 1,800 light years from earth. The to bright stars area are irradiating the surrounding Hydrogen gas that cause the ionization of the diffuse hydrogen nebula. Also present near the neck of the pelican are two prominent dust filaments that named Herbig-Harob objects. These are jets of cold molecular gas emanating from newly formed pro-stars that send the material out at several hundred kilometers per second. The bright hydrogen ridge where these structures are located is an estimated 10 light years in size with the entire hydrogen cloud 25 x 30 light years by my basic calculations.

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.
