NGC6888 Crescent Nebula - Cygnus

This is my first attempt of combining OSC data with Narrowband data with my ZWO ASI071MC Pro camera. I used a Baader UV/IR filter for the color data and the Optolong L-Extreme to collect the narrowband data.

I collected a lot of color data but only a couple of hours of narrowband data, probably should have done the opposite. Another learning moment in my journey of astrophotography. Processing in PixInsight required that learning several new techniques and it took many iterations before I got these results. I'm very pleased with the results and hope to improve them with future images.

Description: Added some more narrowband data and reprocessed. I was looking to enhance to Oiii a little better with the version, which was accomplished but maybe not as much as I would like.

Description: Decided to reprocess this image using some the new SPCC color calibration, StarXTerminator, and Bill Blanshan's Star Reduction. I believe the results are much better.

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.
