Cygnus Loop Nebula, my shortest mono image

The Cygnus Loop is an amazing nebulae complex located in the Cygnus constellation. It's composed by several bright emission nebulae such as NGC 6960 and NGC6992, and also by some other faint nebulae.

This nebula is a supernova remnant which exploded some 10,000 to 20,000 years ago.

The image is the first light of my new portable setup composed by:

Askar FRA 300 Pro
ASI2600MM + LRGB SHO ZWO filters
ZWO AM5 mount
ZWO EAF, EFW 7 pos., ASI AIR Plus

The high performance of this super light setup just amazed me. The image I got is the shortest monochrome image I've ever taken. Despite the noticeable noise that I already expected, I was able to capture several faint details with less than 20 minute exposure in each narrow band filter (Halpha and Oxygen).

Disclaimer: this is not a promoted post, even though I got all the new materials from Askar and ZWO at a good price in order to study its performance.

I'll share a full review on Youtube thanks to Astrotivissa (Marc). Stay tuned on social networks @astrocatinfo

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.
