Sh2-240 - HαRGB - (3) of 6 panels

After working for almost 2 weeks to get the data and stitch the images together at least 1 panel is worth presenting. It was impossible so far to get the panels together, and I certainly will try further, but for now I do need to take a break. Not quite sure why the stitched images with PI introduced a scaling problem. Getting 2 panels together was no problem, but as soon as the next set is added the stitching does not work out anymore. I guess I have to go back to "manual" stitching, but only after a longer break!

Description: The second panel, and one can see the struggle. Matching every tiny detail so that one cannot see the border is complicated, to say at least. I did not get the star visibility right, and matching the same kind of background with different quality frames seems to be almost impossible. But at least it is a first try ... Warning for everybody who wants to try the same ... it will keep you busy for a loooong time 😊!

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.
