North America, the Pelican, and the Clamshell - Two-panel Mosaic - Combined SHORGB with RGB Mouseover

Part of my continuing continuing exploration of Cygnus this summer. The Clamshell doesn't get enough attention, in my view, because of its fascinating neighbors. But it's nice to see the whole group together in a high-resolution shot.

I didn't post exposure details for this because it's available with the two component panels, which I've posted separately here:

And here:

All told, it's roughly 42 total hours of exposure time.

Description: My apologies for uploading this a couple of times. I've been trying to get the mouseover thing to work correctly. I think I have it right this time.

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.
