NGC 6888 in HOO

Revision title: Re-Process with BXT AI4

This is my first attempt at imaging NGC 6888 back in early September, which I only got around to processing it to where I am happy with this image recently.

I managed to shoot 10 minute exposures for the first time, which surprisingly went well as there wasn't that much wind the night I was imaging, although I only managed to get 9 exposures totalling 90mins integration time. I used my recently acquired ZWO ASI183MC Pro paired with my Radian 61 and Optolong L-Ultimate filter. I am really happy with the results. Despite the strong amp glow, I managed to pull out some nice details in the Crescent Nebula and also the surrounding background Ha nebulosity. I also think that GraXpert AI was great at removing the complex gradient that was present in this image. I think this image was slightly out of focus unfortunately, but I am glad that after some tweaking, BlurXTerminator managed to bring the image from an almost unusable image into an image where it is usable. That's why I am all for Russ Croman's AI tools for astrophotography!

I wish I could have shot more time on this region as the Crescent Nebula is one of my favourite objects in Cygnus, but that will have to wait now as Cygnus will not be visible from my location in Australia until mid-August next year; one of the perks living in Australia lol.

I am looking forward to using my ZWO ASI183MC Pro for more projects in the near future.

Title: Re-Process with BXT AI4

Description: Decided to re-process this data using the newly released BXT AI4. It does a fantastic job with this image, and I look forward to using BXT AI4 in my journey of re-processing my images using it! I also changed the colours a little bit, took extra care to not make the image appear so crunchy and I made the image a little bit wider to showcase more of the surrounding Ha regions.

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.
