The North America & Pelican Nebulas

The North America Nebula (NGC 7000) The Pelican Nebula (IC 5070)Think I’ve finally finished my first SHO image, spent so much time playing around and watching loads of YouTube videos plus spent many nights out there trying to collect as much data as possible. This is my final image; I could have collected a couple more hours on H-Alpha not sure what it would do, I did have 6 1/2hrs on OIII & SII but because of the great British weather I’m still waiting on a clear night. Having all this data allowed me to be more selective of the actual images that I could use, time to move onto a new target once we start getting clear skies again.This is the first time that I’ve used PixInsight all the way through processing an image, must say it wasn’t as hard as I originally thought. Big shout out to all those YouTubers 😊. I did use PS to heal around a few stars and to reduce the stars also. I did try in PixInsight but wasn’t happy with he results; guess I just keep try with new images or invest in better filters. (Chroma on the wish list).

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.
