Heart & Soul plus nearby friends, a 2-panel HSO-Mosaic

The image shows the Heart Nebula IC 1805 and the Soul Nebula IC1848 and a lot of other objects in their surroundings in the constellation Cassiopeia.
I admit, these two have certainly been photographed as many times as Neuschwanstein Castle. But on my list was still missing a group shot of the two with a bit of their surroundings. The decision to build 2-panel HSO composite stood on thin legs. Because of the bad local weathers, it was just enough for a total of about 10 hours of light from my Bortle 5 balcony. For the easten panel with the Soul Nebula I only had 3.6 hours uf usable data and about double the time for the western panel.

The background coloring is a modified HSO palette, the stars were built from Ha and OIII data.

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.
