My first attempt at a mosaic!

I have to say that Astropixel Processor is superb at stitching these together for a clueless person such as myself :-)

I don't have a rotator so the crop is slightly elongated to cut out the rotation between the images. (also no need for another set of flats!). The Soul Nebula position also meant I could get away without a meridian flip to make life simpler....

I may see about adding some OIII data to this when the next opportunity comes up...

Description: Gave this one a bit of tlc and tried out the Topaz Labs Sharpen AI trial to see what it would do with this type of image. Used the 'focus' part of it as didn't lie what sharpen did and ran it through Adjust to enhance the colour and contrast and Denoise for good measure

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.
