My first mosaic. This is HSS. I didn't try OIII. Used 4 panels.

For each panel:

SII 30 frames 240 sec

Ha 20 frames 240 sec

About 3 hours per frame

Description: Added another nights worth of data. Total, about 5 1/2 hours for each of the 4 frames. Better detail, but the color and background were more difficult.

D

Description: Another Attempt (Actually the last of 7 attempts). I tried combining each frame frame and then stitching the RGB frames together, but ICE didn't seem to handle the RGB frames as well. I also made the image a little more red. I liked the first image colors better than the second image.

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.
Dismissals 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.
