Although I’m somehow revisiting some of the same objects I captured exactly a year ago with my small RedCat scope, my current take and focus on these objects is so much different. One year ago, a quick single night capture of NGC 7000 during full moon to support the learning curve and get diversity in my DSO portfolio. This time, more in-depth with the TS140 scope, longer exposure times up 13 hrs, SHO-filters.

The result, an image of an eerie wall in the constellation of Cygnus with a blue ocean rolling against it. I was originally planning a different palette, but eventually tuned the curves and SHO blending into this blue-ish colour palette. Happy how the long integration time has culminated into the fine dusty detail in the wall, lit up by SHO-coloured stars …

Each time I look at this picture, I wonder: is it the Gulf of Mexico, or is it the Blue Lagoon … At least, given the result, it seems this image is the blue lagoon for me ….

Clear Skies everybody! 🤩✨🔭

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.
