NGC7000 - North America Nebula in HOO

With my rotator still being serviced, I figured I'd try and play around with improving tilt using my camera's built-in tilt adjustment to get a better feel for how challenging this process is. I followed Chris White's document, on using ASTAP and NINA's Hocus Focus and got pretty close to eliminating it with only a couple of turns here and there, using the Stowaway and AP92FF (field flattener). Tired of fiddling with tilt adjustments and not wanting to waste a clear night, I turned to NGC7000 and managed to get about 3hr 35' of Ha and OIII before dawn.

This is only my second time with bicolour processing and I'm still trying to find a colour balance and processing routine that pleases me. I figured since this was a night of testing, I might as well test a new colour scheme. This time, I used the ForaxxPaletteUtility. This produces a very different result to the vanilla HOO I'm used to. Going forward, I'll likely have to spend some time taking short RGB exposures for better star colours if I use this utility again.

As usual, all exposures were unguided after running a dec-arc model with the Mach2GTO-L from my very light polluted backyard in London, UK.

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.
