Description

While I wait for Centarus A to rise above the light soup for RGB I have been getting so good early seeing and grabbing a handful of subs each night for this 4 Panel OIII mosaic. This is a really, really big object that needs at least 40 panels to capture its full scope. I did 20 last year and what I learned from that is to grab the entire field each night, even if it means taking just one sub per panel per night when it in its optimum position crossing the Zenith. Might take a run in HA next but I really love the bang I get from OIII.
