North America Nebula NGC 7000 Ha+OSC RASA8

Decided to add the Hydrogen Alpha Data to the OSC color data of NGC 7000 from last year. I used the Ha for a luminance with the RASA and deconvoluted. The detail and improvement are striking, especially along the Cygnus Wall. Amazing how much my editing has improved from a year ago as you can see in Image B.

NGC 7000 is a hydrogen emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The nebula pretty easily resembles the North American land mass. The cygnus wall portion, Mexico area, is a dense area star formation that is highlighted in the image. The nebula is almost 2,600 light years from earth and measures 90 light years from top to bottom.

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.
