Description

Large mosaic of the northern area of constellation Cygnus in H-alpha. I took the images under a Bortle 5 sky.
My goal was to test the mosaic function of NINA that works nearly perfect for me.

The mosaic consists of 15 panels. Each of the panels was exposed at least 9x500s in H-alpha. It was assembled with the mosaic scripts in Pixinsight and is reduced to 25% of the original area.
Unfortunately there was significant tilt in the image train, so the star shapes are not perfect in the overall image.

A HOO version will follow.
