Description

After a terrible winter, I got nice skies for a few days. With a 6 panel mosaic in mind, I started shooting this region of Cygnus. This picture is a first in many ways, first light with the Touptek 2600c, first light with the L-Ultimate, first target of the year. Normally I would spend at least 15h on this one, but combining 6 panels gives me a bit of a headroom since I'm planning on downsampling. 

I wasn't expecting to get a glimpse of the Soap Nebula, and I'm still ironing out corner gradients, that I suspect may be caused by condensation on the camera, will have to test that out. Went for an HOO approach with Bill's HOO normalization, pretty happy
