Some might say the Dynamic Duo of Nebulae is the Heart & Soul, but I think it's North America and the Pelican. Maybe it's a nostalgic remnant from growing up on the California coast and being enthralled watching pelican squadrons skimming just above the waves until one spots a fish, swoops up and dives straight down to secure lunch.

Anyway...here is that pair, North America and the Pelican [and environs], in HOO. I am very pleased with the Chroma 3nm OIII filter. 56 Cyg and 57 Cyg, the two bright stars in the Pelican, are notorious halo producers in OIII; the Chroma 3nm does a fine job rendering them without halos...yea!

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.
