SH2-119 in SHO colors

Hi guys,

only a few degrees of the ever popular North America Nebula you will find this beautiful gem of a nebula. It is extremely large and barely fit into the new field with my Riccardi reducer. This is the first real image with my new gear which I purchased specifically to increase my potential of reaching faint signals. I'm now running at f/4.1 with 3nm filters. All worked out as I had planned and in addition I also increased my target goal to 24h per image which dramatically increased the image quality.

I decided to also do a starless and a version with stars with exactly the same editing steps which should show a very interesting comparison I think.

I hope you guys enjoy these two images. Link to image without stars: https://www.astrobin.com/uv0wv1/

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.
