Project Wolf-Rayet 134 in Cygnus with @Sabine Leidinger and @Marcus Jungwirth

As Sabine and Marcus already planned to collaborate on WR 134 and this beautiful object has been on the very top of my list of objects I wanted to capture, I'm really glad that they asked me to join their project, thank you so much guys!

Sabine and Marcus were collecting a lot of RGB and duo narrowband data in mostly moonless nights under good seeing conditions with their 8" Lacerta Newton at 800mm/f4 and their ZWO ASI 2600MC Pro and QHY 268C, while at the same time I collected mono narrowband data with my 10" Lacerta Newton at 1000mm/f4 and my ZWO ASI 2600MM Pro.

Check out Sabine's and Marcus' versions on their Astrobin page to see the result of around 30 hours of data, a mix of color RGB data, duo narrowband data and mono narrowband data, they are awesome!
I decided to only use their RGB dataset and my mono narrowband data as I wasn't really able to put together a good mix of the duo narrowband and mono narrowband data. I hope you like my result of around 20 hours of total integration time too

Wolf-Rayet 134 is located in a distance of about 6.000 light years in the constellation of Cygnus.
The special and very unique thing about WR 134 is it's blueish outer shell with a lot of fine structures which consist mostly of emitted and illuminated oxygen, caused by the strong stellar winds which are typical for Wolf-Rayet stars.
Wolf-Rayet stars are known to be some of the hottest and brightest stars in our universe, WR 134 is 400.000 times as luminous as our sun.

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.
