Description

Eastern Veil Nebule - accidental mosaic.
I took two sets of images on separate consecutive nights of the same target - i was not intending to do a mosaic or anything - but as the images overlap area was not too great i decided to do that instead of merging them together.

I was initially having some trouble with red/blue chromatic aberation but i chose to split the OSC data into RGB after the debayer stage and then to star align the channels separately using a green image as the reference frame. This defintely improved things, although, because i know it is there i can still see the odd shift - but i should be less fussy i know .

Anyway - i love the veil nebula - it was the first DSO target i ever took back on my Canon 800D and blew me away (up until then i had been lunary / planetary only)
