Description

A 2 x 1 mosaic from NGC4725 (c. 55 million light-years) to LoTr5 (c.1650 light-years) in lrgb taken over various nights in April 23 from Pixelskies in Spain. Overall this is L 181 x 5'; R 119 x 3'; G 128 x 3'; B 129 x 3'.

I started this as a single frame to capture  NGC 4725, NGC 4747 and NGC 4712 but widened the capture to include the combination with PN LoTr5 which adds a lot to the overall image; at least that's what i think ;-).

I used PI tools image solve, mosaic by coordinates, trim mosaic and gradient merge mosaic to join the two panels. I deliberately didn't take any narrow band data even though it may have given some more definition as i wanted to see how much of the PN i could pull out.
