Description

Two-part mosaic. One weekend of data centered on M84 plus half a night of data centered on PGC 41136.

Each night data were acquired with an SBIG STT-8300MM attached to an AP130GT with a ~0.8X telecompressor and a ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool attached to a WO81GT centered on the same location. The FOVs for the two setups are close in size, allowing parallel data acquisition. I don't know if there is some SNR loss trying to register and integrate CCD and CMOS data together in a single processing workflow, however.

Some area was lost due to imperfect rotational alignment of the cameras between the two weekends.
