Hi folks,

After almost two months of astro-inactivity, I was able to get out by the end of July for a few nights under the stars. This well-known area in Cygnus always catched my attention and it was a good opportunity to give it a try.

60 single guided exposures with my little and brave Taka for a total of 3 hours of integration. As you can see, I need to reduce chromatic halos around stars...I'm waiting for IDAS filter to be fitted inside the D5500 and cuts UV/IR...should arrive soon ;-) I suspect also a minor tilt but let's check it next time.

So, this is the first image of three I took in July and August. Others will follow soon ;-)

Stay healthy and enjoy every night under the stars ;-)

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.
