Description

Well, I attempted a 3-panel mosaic of M33. With a setup at f2.9, the task was not easy...

The idea was to use a UHC-filter to bring out a lot of nebulae, because it's the main interest in this object in my opinion. I wanted to do 3x8h of shoots, but the weather only allowed me something like 3x3h, so the background stars and the faint nebulae are not totally there.

Furthermore, i had some trouble in merging the left pannel with the other two, as you can see, the background is not totally even. The problem is that the moon was bigger on that night, therefore the background correction was harder to do. There is a bigger amount of noise as well... which is a pity since it was by far the best night of the three seeing-wise.

Overall, i'm still pleased... it's my first mosaic so i've more to learn !
