Sharpless2-117
Is The North America nebula and The Pelican nebula / NGC7000 / IC5067 / IC5070
NGC 7000, The North America got its name in 1890 from the Astrophotographer Max Wolf who noticed the resemblance of North America.
The astronomer Stewart Sharpless in 1959, realized the The North America nebula and The Pelican nebula is the same cloud of ionized hydrogen.
The hydrogen cloud is separated by a dark band of dust.
A very unexpected chance to image as the rain suddenly stopped and the clouds disappeared for a few hours.
I didn`t plan for imaging this night so I had to make a quick decision for a new target.

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.
