NGC7000 (North American Nebula - Cygnus Wall) in SHO, no stars (Derek Spratt)

NGC7000 (North American Nebula - Cygnus Wall) in SHO, no stars

I am continuing to enjoy my new Epsilon E180 scope and ASI6200MM camera combination and have been interested in doing some comparison imaging to see how well it is performing relative to my RASA8 + ASI294MM setup.

This is not the right time of year to image NGC7000 (too low in the sky) but if the results looks good then I know they will look great in August (when I took the RASA8 images below).

Guiding was excellent in Vancouver with the Epsilon at 0.4-0.5AS, guiding was so-so in Utah at 0.7-1.5AS due to windy conditions - the moon wasn't a factor in either location.

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.
