Revision title: Slight crop and color correction

Quick capture from great dark skies in rural GA, nearly bortle 3, using a stock Canon R6 and the RF 85L @ f/2. A stack of 40 x 30s exposures at iso1600 tracked with a SkyGuider Pro. The image quality on this lens at f/2 is outstanding. This is actually a crop from a mosaic I tried to do capturing the best area I had around Cassiopeia. No calibration frames, stacked with APP. No stars harmed in this image... no star reduction or removal.

The farmer who lives next to the cemetery came out to check up on who was hanging out in the middle of nowhere in a cemetery at night, and we had a great chat about the night sky and how blessed he is to be able to see it like this all the time (nearly bortle 3) while 95% of the people east of the Mississippi do not. During our chat the best meteor Ive seen this year, a -3 or -4 northern taurid fireball streaked across the edge of Cassiopeia towards Polaris!

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.
