Description

This is my biggest astrophoto project thus far, a double layer 12-panel mosaic of the main stars of Scorpius. For each panel, I obtained 30 sub frames, 20 of them without any filters, 10 of them with a Kenko Softon filter. No darks, no flats, no bias! I used Adobe Lightroom to organize the subs, mean stacked them in Adobe Photoshop and exported the stacked frames into PTGUI to assemble two mosaics, one with and one without the Kenko Softon filter. The final step was to use Adobe Photoshop to adjust the layer opacity of the Softon filtered stars layer, giving a mild Akira Fuji effect to the photo.
