Description

I've decided to up my imaging game a bit and try to create my very first mosaic. For a target i picked out a relatively simple and bright one - lowering the time i'd spend on each panel given our absolutely miserable weather this year.

This was definitely a learning experience. Since each panel was taken on a different night with a different moon phase, the gradients between panels made combining them a significant challenge, even with the mosaic building tools that PI offers. In the end, i processed the image a few times until i was happy with the seam blending as well as the gradient elimination.

I'm uploading the vertical version as i think it's an interesting perspective on this target.
