The Crescent Nebula NGC 6888

Finally, no curfew and clear skies - even four nights in a row. So I aimed always for the same target which was the Crescent Nebula and surroundings in Cygnus. The image contains three nights of dual narrowband data and one night of broadband data. The narrowband data was used for an H(HO)O color combination giving an Hubble palette look. Of course it's a "fake" Hubble palette since SII is missing, but I like the style nonetheless. Using the broadband data, RGB stars were added to the image.

The aquisition process was fun since it's been the first time I was able to leave all the stuff set up over several days so I only had to polar align once. Just connecting the notebook each time, connecting the equipment to NINA and starting imaging.

All in all, it's the my image with the most integration time by far and I am pretty happy with the result. Hope you like it!

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.
