Description

Here we have my second attempt of a two panel mosaic. I decided on the Cygnus Loop in the constellation of Cygnus. I dialed the reducer back to try to get rounder stars on the edges. It did help but still slightly elongated, but from a distance, you cannot see the elongated stars. Each panel is eight hours of exposure so a total of 16 hours with the 2" Radian Triad Quad-band Ultra filter. Mostly a moonless session so I get the most out of the signal. The original images size was massive once merged total around 13K pixels by 11K pixels as I was drizzling 2x per panel. This is a 4k version of it. Enjoy
