NGC 7000 & IC 5070 - APP Mosaic Test [Ha]

I recently downloaded a trial version from Astro Pixel Processor, which i heard has a great mosaic tool. To test out this feature i grabbed 3 Ha integrations that where originally not intended to go into a mosaic. So they did not line up very well, but should be good enough for the test.

Each panel consists of at least 3 hours of integration time. One panel (the one with the pelican nebula) was made of 120s subs, the other two panels were created by using 180s subs. The resulting mosaic reveals, that the pelican nebula panel has a lot more noise in it.

I am very pleased how easy it is to create a mosaic with APP. Simply load your stacked images, make a few settings, start the integration and you are done. In case your chosen settings are somewhat wrong, APP warns you and suggests better options. Easy.

Revision B shows the resulting, unprocessed mosaic as produced by APP, with a simple STF applied in PixInsight.

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.
