Description

My main working focal length of 585mm is a little too tight to capture the Running CHicken together with it's larger "satellite" splodges of nebulosity, so here I've assembled two panels to cover the entirety in a square format.

It's probably a stretch to call a two panel image a "mosaic" but it's the first time I have imaged anything other than a single target frame so a first for me, but not the last as it does seem laughingly easy to stack different overlapping frames in APP. APP with a few settings seems to be able to combine with no obvious joins.

Here I combined the SHO channels from APP in Startools 1.7 and final tweaks in photoshop.

Description: have adjusted colouration to taste. Too much cyan in the original. Prefer this reworked version.
