Description

This is the second attempt to produce a mosaic, again of the pelican and north america nebulae. But this time with stars. I found out better settings for Astro Pixel Processor to produce the basic mosaics, better than the first mosaic without stars. The basic mosaics are one for H-alpha and one for OIII. I combined these basic mosaics in PixInsight and did a lot of processing there to produce the ultimate result. I did this according to the “guidelines” in the Light Vortex Astronomy tutorial “Narrowband Bicolour Palette Combinations”.

I am looking forward to comments that help me in producing my next mosaic.
