Heart and Soul Widefield Mosaic: 7 panels complete

This is work in progress on my first major mosaic project: a 16-panel widefield on the Heart and Soul nebulas, at ~2.15"/pixel resolution. All this on a ZenithStar 61ii mounted with a cem26, and imaged with an asi533mc pro and L-extreme filter. I have 51 hours of integrated time so far.

Each panel:

Minimum of 7 hours at 6 min subs at -10C
Extract and stack Ha and [OIII] separately
Remove light pollution in stacked Ha and [OIII] panels

Mosaic:

Load Ha and [OIII] panels as separate channels
Register both channels at same time
Create separate Ha and [OIII] mosaics

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.
