Description

This is a mosaic of two images of the Orion and Horsehead nebulas I took in early November 2021. I used Telescopius to plan the layout and copied the co-ordinates into my ASIAIR Pro. These were taken with the Sky-Watcher Evostar 72ED telescope, with a 0.85 focal reducer so 376mm of focal length and I used a ASI294MC Pro camera.

I have three videos on my channel showing: 1) How I planned this and the accuracy of the ASIAIR Pro in plate solving; 2) Three different methods to make the mosaic; and 3) How I processed this final image, including using StarXtermintor and Topaz_Denoise.
