Description

This is a 6 Panel Mosaic. 

Each Panel had 2 hours per channel of RGB and about 2 hours HA. At F3.6 I'm nearly doubling my time over the native F5 of the TAK.  BlurXterminator has brought a new life to the TAK 0.72 reducer paired with the small pixels of the QHY600 camera, are not the best match for that reducer. The stars at the corners were pretty horrific prior to BXT, but thanks to the AI they are much improved.
I really struggled with this project and may re-visit the data again when I have more time. Thanks to Adam Block and his tutorials of Mosaics.
Two nights in Bortle 4/5 and 2 nights in Bortle 2. Really difficult gradients and getting a workable image took a few days. Still not happy with the result but i need a faster computer and another bottle of wine to get through working on it again.
Anyway here it is.
