Description

Here is a four panel mosaic we did , total about 140 hours. There is insane amount of H-alpha in this region that I hope my process had done it's justice.  this is the first ever mosaic I processed which I have to say it is quite challenging task compare to regular images. I hope in the future we will have more opportunities for mosaic works.
