IC1318 in SHO

IC 1318 is an emission nebula in the Cygnus constellation, about 4,000 lightyears away. Its glow comes as a result of nearby stars releasing streams of charged particles known as stellar winds, which ionise the gasses, causing them to emit light.IC 1318 is often known as the Gamma Cygni Nebula and can be seen around the star Sadr, although the nebula and the star are unassociated and Sadr is not the cause of the emission nebula’s glow. IC 1318 is also sometimes known as the Butterfly Nebula, but this double-lobed cosmic cloud is not to be confused with NGC 6302, which is also known as the Butterfly and is a planetary nebula about 3,800 lightyears away in the constellation Scorpius.

This area is so fascinating to image - there is so much going on here but i worry if i've gone overboard on saturation! feedback welcome!

Starless version is also uploaded..

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.
