North American Nebula NGC7000 Mosaic

NGC 7000 is a large emission nebula in the constellation of cygnus. The Pelican Nebula IC 5070 can also be seen bordering this region. Cygnus is located in the central part of our summer milkyway. To put the vastness of this region into perspective these two emission nebula regions are approximately 8 times larger than a full moon.

The light frames listed below are referring to how many exposures of the deep sky object were taken and also the length of each exposure which are used for stacking in the program pixinisght, the dark, flat, and bias frames are calibration frames which help to eliminate different types of noise, vignetting, and dust on the sensor. It requires many hours of work to produce just one astrophotography image.

This ended up being 620 subs between a tandem mounted array of a monochrome 60d and full spectrum 550d dslr's.

Both cameras iso 1600

Both using Samyang 135mm F2 at F2

60d filter was Astronomik CLS-CCD

550d filter was Astronomik uv/ir cut

60d was shooting 45s subs, 305 total

550d was shooting 30s subs,

315 total

darks-120

flats-160

bias-master on both bodies

Calibrated, registered, and stacked using Pixinsight

Color calibration and abe and background neutralization done in pixinsight

LLRGB workflow performed in Adobe Photoshop CC as well as final color correction

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.
