Description

Shot about a month ago, but I was not very satisfied with the several iterations of processing that I did.

Almost gave up really.

I did not think this one would be difficult, but it was, and I think this is mostly due to the shortcomings of my uncooled camera.

Anyways, this is a 2 panel mosaic, that was shot at the same time I was shooting M16. 

Now I know you guys who've been using N.I.N.A know its awesome, but this was for me really out of this world.
The plan was :
M16  till 1 AM
Pelican Panel A from 1:00 AM  to  2:30  AM
Pelican Panel B from 2:30 AM  to  4:00  AM

Every day I would take my rig outside, polar align and run the sequence that I had saved. Every night for 6 nights, it would image 3 targets, do 2 meridian flips and then park.
