Description

A three-panel mosaic, which is a first for me. Things I've learned:

- Mosaics are quite a difficult process, especially manual stitching

- Calibration becomes unbelievably crucial

- In the future I'd like to avoid Mosaics.. and just buy a scope that can capture the full field

Quite frankly I wish we had a definite "go-to" software to process mosaics. I also had quite a bit of HA data which I was not able to use for many technical reasons.. so I ended up with a pure RGB image.

Anyway, the final image ended up being 5860x4297 .. and ended up OK I think. Thanks for looking!
