Description

First attempt at a mosaic. Data from 11/17/2019, 11/21/19 and 11/22/19. My congratulations to the programmers at Photoshop for the awesome software to make this type of photo possible. This photo has issues that I may work on at a later date but I was blown away at the relative ease to get this kind of result!

Description: Tried to improve this HaSHaR palette experiment with Pixinsight. It didn't quite happen as good as hoped, but was fun trying. Might try again someday.

Description: A reprocess of last years HaS2HaR three panel Mosaic Panorama. Had some (cloudy) time and used the time and old data to try to match the processing of the three panels a little better. I don't remember why I used the R data in place of the usual O3. Perhaps it was something I read or just a blunder when I obtained the data. At any rate, the detail was interesting, unusual and somewhat unique. This was my first attempt at a mosaic although that wasn't my intent initially. I found that my scope aligned on the center for the first series and I wanted to see the rest of the nebula. So on the next clear night I moved the scope to the upper region and got the idea for a mosaic. On the next night I did the same for the lower part. Beginners luck allowed for a fair overlap and alignment to allow Photoshop to do it's thing.
