IC 5070 the Pelican Nebula

First lights with my rig already working at e-EyE in Extremadura (Spain). What a ride! Lots of thoughts until I decided to go remotely, mostly due to the frustration caused by many months of bad weather here in Switzerland, and Central Europe in general. For me, having this observatory is something that I dreamed of since I was a kid, and now that it is real, makes me so happy. I have to thank the great support of Vincent and the team of Optique Unterlinden for all the guidance and help in building up this little observatory. Also big thanks to all the people that make e E-yE run every day (los 3 Josés; Luís, Manuel y Fernando; a Cristina y Cindy); a big thanks to Aygen first for giving me the opportunity to upgrade the camera, and filter wheel and filters, and then for the great support and help with so many questions. Very grateful to everyone who helped me somehow. And last but not least to my girlfriend for being so supportive of this hobby/passion of mine.

Still not perfect, and I might have to go back to make some adjustments until everything is perfect. But for the moment I am quite happy with the results after the long period of time invested to have everything running and calibrated. All data was collected unguided (this is delightful) and under very hot nights in August; nevertheless, the results are quite fine (I might go back to analyze this again, as I always do). Here I wanted to highlight the SII signal over the dominant Ha, for what a dynamic blending (as done before) helps a lot.

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.
