Sh2-119 - The forgotten pearl in cygnus

Link: https://apod.grag.org/2021/09/16/sh2-119-the-forgotten-pearl-in-cygnus/

Sh2-119 is a large emission nebulae in Cygnus about 2 degree east of NGC 7000 (North America nebula) and IC5070 (Pelican nebula).Among the interesting objects in the nebula there is 68Cyg that is brightly shinning in its center as well as several dark dust lanes.

68Cyg looks like a pearl in a shell! Admit it is more poetic than a pelican or a wall

Acquisition : shot from SQM 18.3 solid Bortle 8) with limited integration (weather dependant)

Ha : = (signal isn’t very strong)
S2: - (diffuse signal concentrated at the edge of the nebula)
O3: - - (very weak signal) . See revision C for the signal strenght!

Usual widefield combo : Asi 1600MM + Canon 200 @f4.5 (stepdown rings).

Processing : happy with the colors and the field: got a part of NGC7000 on the right showing how close both objects are and how the dust is filling the gap between the two.

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.
