Description

This is the first image coming out from the remote site, yet due to various reasons remained unfinished.

It was an ambitious project that originally requires 6 panes Mosaic. it was proven that i was a bit over my head for my first Mosaic. Eventually i ended up with only 5 panes of G and Ha completed. Countless frames dumped due to various reasons. I have no choice but cut it short for 4 panes and plug up the sink hole. The image is of 5,622 x 4,497 in size with total integration of 1,780 frames. Images are acquired in February 2019.

I have mapped the color into HaGG format. Hence, the red in the image is mostly the emission portion of the M42 and the running man. This mapping yield few interesting structural details that i was unaware of before.
