Revision title: Showing the impact of Pixinsight.

The Veil Nebula in Cygnus is remarkably easy to locate and incredibly challenging to image. Very faint, very crowded. This is my first light with the Apertura 60mm FPL-53 doublet refractor. I coupled the 360mm focal length with the full frame sensor on a modified Canon 6D to get a nice wide field. My camera did not play well with the ASIAIR, and I was limited to 30 second maximum exposure duration. So, I took a lot of those. Just to make things unnecessarily complicated, these are guided in RA on the SkyGuider Pro, although with a 30 second exposure on a wide field that was a waste of equipment. I am in the processing of combining these with the images taken using the Canon T2i and the Pentax 200mm lens, stay tuned for that.

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.
