Flemings / Pickering's Triangle - Cygnus Loop (Western Veil Portion)

This was a pretty mesmerizing target to try to capture. This is from 31 x 5 minute exposures at a very long 1,470 mm focal length and required really good guiding performance. Captured last night:

Fleming's / Pickering's Triangle - 1,500 light years away, is part of the cygnus loop supernova remnant, and is a dramatic portion of the Western Veil Nebula. Blocked off from the original image to show its location below (note color differences due to a very warm triad ultra narrowband filter in the original shot), it is one of the most mind boggling parts of the loop.

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.
