Description

This started out as a 4 panel mosaic that turned into a 5 panel mosaic because when I stitched it together I had a spot in the center where the 4 panels came together that had no data.  So I waited until the next month and took another shot of the middle.  Due to differences in the moon brightness this probably worked out better anyway since the top half was noticeably brighter than the bottom half so this extra frame helped smooth everything out.  If I did this again, I think I'd frame it a bit differently to put the heart in the upper right and the soul in the bottom left.  Originally I was trying to capture some of the faint nebulosity around the heart nebula but in my light poluted skies I'm not sure it's feasible.
