Description

This is the result of a 4-panel mosaic shot. This is my first mosaic work.
We went to different places for 8 days and filmed. I had to go to work, so I proceeded while managing my physical strength.
It was very difficult, but I worked with the expectation that I would be able to capture the Andromeda Galaxy beautifully.

I did Drizzle 2x with Deepskystacker and the images were large so it wasn't easy to work with. It was already oversampling, so there was no need for that, but I was greedy, perhaps because I was filming hard.

I collected H-alpha data for 4 days, but the signal was lower than expected. So this data could not be used properly.

After a few tries, I was able to get decent quality and color results. The results are not entirely satisfactory. It really is the Andromeda Galaxy of Hell.
