NGC6820 is a region of nebulosity in Vulpecula, in the general region of Cygnus. It consists of the open cluster NGC6823, the large emission nebula Sh 2-86 and the small reflection nebula NGC6820. We wanted to capture this because it in the area as the more popular nebulae in Cygnus, but is not imaged nearly as much. We had earlier captured many frames in RGB and HO, but felt that S2 might bring out a bit more personality. In the midst of all the data capture, we upgraded the mount and the camera so there was quite a long gap in the data collection from July to September. I processed this in APP using the LRGBHSO palette, using the red filter data as the Luminosity (times 0.5). This was then post-processed in Pixinsight to give the most optimal stretch and noise reduction. A few minor polishes in Adobe Lightroom yielded this, which I think is a nice clean image.

Many thanks to Tim Triche for his sponsorship of this magnificent instrument, and thanks to Linda Thomas-Fowler, Chris Kagy, and Bob Traube for managing and coordinating the acquisition.

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.
