Description

This is my first attempt at a mosaic and even with only two panels, it was much more difficult than I imagined. Despite the challenges, though, I'm still quite pleased with the end result and as far as first attempts go, I think I did pretty well! Some of the stars are distorted from the reducer not quite flattening the image very well, but I don't see them if I'm not looking for them, so I'll count it as a win.

Next time, I think I'll switch out the reducer for the WO Flat73 and do a three- or four-panel shot with longer exposures.
