First go at the Spaghetti Nebula

Revision title: Spaghetti Nebula revised Mosaic

This is my first try at this unique and beautiful nebula. I hope to get more data the next two nights to put together a mosaic of the entire nebula. Wasn't sure I was getting much data as even with 10 minute subs, this is a pretty faint nebula.

This is a supernova remnant bordering the Auriga and Taurus constellations. This discovery of this nebula is fairly recent and was in 1952 by the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory. It is a large nebula (200 x 180 arcmin) and is estimated to be 3.000 light year away and around 40,000 year old.

Title: Mosaic Spaghetti Nebula

Description: This is 3 panels, 2 from last night and one from the previous night and I still didn't get all of the nebula. I tried to adjust my scope manually and since the data is so faint, I didn't adjust my scope enough. Also, doing a mosaic with a mono camera is a challenge and caused different background colors and bands where the panel overlap. I ended up editing and cropping each panel separately and then I stacked them in APP using selecting Mosaic in the Registration panel. I sure it is either in my processing or capture. If anyone has any thoughts or tips, please let me know.

Title: Spaghetti Nebula revised Mosaic

Description: Followed Lee's advise and restacked the 3 panels in APP using higher MBB and I enabled LNC. This definitely improved the banding issue. Thanks Lee

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.
