This is probably my largest and preferred mosaic so far. It has been shot with a OSC and no additional NB data was blend in, what you see is what you get is my preferred approach. 18 panels 3 wide, 6 deep (or you can turn that around as I prefer this orientation to show the image ;-)). I really love this region, probably more than the Orion region that has been captured in stunning wide fields more. 55 hours of data a little over 3 hours per panel, taken from about September to December. Needed to downsize the final stack as APP would render artefacts at full scale. The original image scale is 2.65, but could only stack at 0.7 and I even downsized it to post ... 12688x16952 was the image I worked on and 1.2GB tiff.

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.
