Cygnus Mosaic in SHO

Been sitting on this for a few days and wanted to share it somewhere before the rest of social media! This is my 36-panel Cygnus mosaic finished. Very happy with the result, and currently moving on to a Cepheus mosaic. I wanted to figure out how little data I would need to produce a clean mosaic, with the power of f/3.6 Takahashi and the QHY600 it is not very much needed at all. Just a little over an hour per panel was needed for Cygnus, which is very bright. I will need much more exposure for Cepheus. Stitching was quite difficult, APP couldn't produce a good registration. So I stitched together every row in PI using photometric mosaic, and then stitched the rows in APP to produce a clean result.

The resulting image is about 450 megapixels, here it is downscaled to 8k which is 1/6 of its original resolution. Even the full-size image is downscaled 50% because my computer doesn't have enough ram to edit the full image which is 2 gigapixels in size. One day I'll upgrade my PC!

Hope you all enjoy

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.
