Ha Work Series #1 - A moment of poetry : the Mermaid in Cygnus.

IC 5068 area make me think of a mermaid diving into the sea - have a look at the dedicated revision B to get the point.

This is the first image of a serie of Ha work I intend to do. Ha structures sometimes get overhelmed in color images, well at least not this time.

Processing this image was super fun and relaxing.
I usually explain to beginners that widefiled Ha is great to learn processing but ....
Anyway, Ha is underrated and that's a pity !

IC5068 area down to the central dark dust lane is about 4h whereas the lower part of the image is only 1h30.
This a mosaic of 4 images that I croped to get the fov I intended. Data were collected in 2020 and 2021.

I 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.
