Andromeda 4 tile mosaic

It was a long lasting bucket list item to capture and present Andromeda this way.This is a 4 tile mosaic with 11hr total integrated exposure time which makes it almost 3 hours for each individual tile.I captured this with the Skywatcher 8" Quattro, collected broadband data with Optolong L-pro and narrowband Ha with L-extreme.Then both data were separately stacked tile-by-tile in astro pixel processor then merged into a mosaic.I did the processing and adding Ha in PixInsight.It took me 1,5 week to complete this project spending 5 nights shooting and a lot of time processing my first ever mosaic.Shoot:99x300 sec broadband16x600 sec Haiso400Bortle 6 Gear:Skywatcher 200/800 QuattroHeq5 proFull spectrum Nikon d5600Optolong L-pro and L-extremeAsi 120mm Mini with 60mm guide scopeAstroberry Processed in astro pixel processor and 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.
