Description

Attempting a panorama shot of the Heart Nebula. The panorama is made of the lower part and the upper part. Each with 6 hours of H-Alpha data. The outcome is not bad at all from the data collected in my inner city backyard.

Actually, the process is not as painful as I thought. Well, it's just one channel. The Astro Pixel Processor's panorama function worked flawlessly. Now I started to think how to do multi-channel stitching with Astro Pixel Processor and make it part of the tone mapping process.
