The Heart of Cygnus from Sadr to Eta Cygni - Crescent Nebula - Tulip Nebula (Jérémie)

The Heart of Cygnus from Sadr to Eta Cygni - Crescent Nebula - Tulip Nebula

Summer is coming

I spent 4 hours on the heart of Cygnus, also called the Northern Cross, between Sadr and Eta Cygni, with the Sigma Art 135mm f/1.8 and the STC Astro Duo-Narrowband.

This is really a rich region, being on the galactic disk. The Butterfly Nebula (IC 1318) is really impressive, particularly on a starless version : almost Dante inferno...

Of course we can see the Crescent and the Tulip nebulas, as well as many small objects that are calling for longer focal length :-).

It also helps me measure the progress made since this first shot 2 years ago, with the small refractor of my daughter and an old T adapter that I used when shooting Jupiter and Saturn with a non motorized Meade Newton 20+ years ago, with a Minolta and some Kodak or Ilford films.... : https://astrob.in/cc4fmc/0/

Last but not least a global view of Cygnus in the Milky Way, from last summer... : https://astrob.in/0ibc4e/0/

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.
