Despite this image not being the final version of the mosaic I’m working on, this data set has proved to be one of the most challengings I’ve ever worked with.

I haven’t used Ha for this one, so all the nebulosity came from my modified DSLR shooting under my inner city light polluted skies. The colors were also kinda tricky to get them right but I think I get a decente result, considering all the light pollution I have to face on each image.

I might post the full mosaic completely done with the HaRGB palette in a few days. By now, I hope you like this one 😉

Constructive criticism, comments and suggestions are more than welcome in the comments section!

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.
