Filamentary Nebula - NGC 6960 (Monty Giavelli)

Filamentary Nebula - NGC 6960

The Filamentary Nebula AKA the Witch's Broom Nebula, Bridal Veil Nebula, Cirrus Nebula, it constitutes the visible parts of the Cygnus Loop, a supernova remnant in Cygnus. It is located at an approximate distance of 1,470 light years from Earth.

This is my first time using a mono camera. I only have LRGB filters so that is what I used.
Weather permitting I will add more subs to this image and pick up more detail. I'm using 2x2 binning on my ASI294MM Pro and a 800mm focal length newtonian.
When I get some narrowband filter I will give this image another try.

Update 8/13/21
I'm now up to about 7 hours of imaging with more luminance than Red, Green or Blue.
It's been a challenge processing with PixInsight, I've tried different processes in different orders and have come up with an image that I like.

Update 9/4/21
The old image was looking a bit washed out so I did a little more processing to give it more contrast and brighter colors.

Update 9/25/21
I redid my luminance using an Optolong L-eXtreme filter. This filter is normally used with a color camera !! The blue part of the L-eXtreme put a donut around the largest star but it did a good job of adding more detail to the final image. The L-eXtreme images were 180 sec each with a total exposure of about 3.5 hours.
There is a horizontal streak across the upper left part of the image. All of the L-eXtreme images after the meridian flip have the streak. Why ??? Not sure yet.

I have ordered a set of 3.0nm Antlia Ha,Oiii,Sii filters but it will be awhile before they get to me. I want to redo the Filamentary Nebula with all narrrowband and compare the results.

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.
