Description

One last hurrah for the Star Adventurer! 

I imaged the Cygnus Loop with 6 min subexposures over most of late June and early July 2021, in my last major project with the Star Adventurer before upgrading to a cem26. This integrated image is the best 29 hours of those imaging sessions. 

Panel I (lower left): 6 hours 
Panel II (lower right): 8 hours 
Panel III (upper right): 10 hours 
Panel IV (upper left): 5 hours 

This is my first major mosaic, and it's still taking some work to get the hang of it. But hopefully more to come!
