Finally coming back to this older data with the weather being crap and processing as my fallback while I wait. Two panel mosaic with limited subs from two slightly different skies in my back yard. I had to tone down the stars in one panel due to the difference in sky quality and the variation in number of subs between the two sessions.

The registration of the SHO and RGB was a bit challenging at first, but a couple rounds with StarAlignment and GradientMergeMosaic was enough to resolve.

GraXpert was not usable on this image under several attempts and I reverted to DBE. It is good to always know how to do this when the more automated methods don't work out.

The RGB stars did not look as good as the SHO ones. I used a simple image invert with SCNR removal, then reinverted for the SHO stars. I made this image mainly for the composition and may come back when I get more data, or try to add data from my FLT132 subs in the cygnus wall area. It is a bit noisy in its current state, especially when zooming in.

Hope you enjoy it.

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.
