Just a slice of stars in Cassiopeia

I keep going back to look at this image even though it's just a slice of sky in Cassiopeia (just to the lower left of the "W" - see finder chart) and realised I hadn't uploaded it yet to Astrobin. I wouldn't want to this to get lost to the depths of my hard drive. It was shot back in November 2022, with a bright moon for company so I thought I'd capture a quick starfield shot.

It's a six pane mosaic - 30 minutes per pane. There's a few issues where cloud spoiled the panes and I had to improvise a bit in processing, but if you don't look too close it's still a lovely field of view with many star clusters.

Not picked up in the plate solved image is the open cluster Stock 2 (The muscleman cluster) just showing in the top left.

Thanks for looking.

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.
