DWB111 CYG - The propeller nebula - Leftover debris from an unfinished plane that never flew

I started building this plane in late August, aiming to get mostly Ha and add in the stars separately, just before CYG would move behind the roof and out of sight for me …

I managed to get in just the single session of Ha …

None of the following nights allowed to capture any more data … clouds, rain for months on end. Just a couple of clear patches where I quickly tried some planetary capturing …

So, at the end of this year, this plane is nog going to get off anymore. I’m left with this first draft captured of the propeller

I decided to process and post it anyway. Ha as a monochrome starless image, but also producing a false colour image with flat-colours stars (ì chose ‘yellow’ stars). The propeller is mainly a Ha cloud anyway, so the Oiii or Sii isn’t overly missed here

Maybe next year, this plane will have its lift-off …

Clear Skies everybody! 🤩✨🔭

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.
