Description

This was quite the project, 9 panels over captured in 4 nights.  However, I do think this turned out much better than my first mosaic of Barnard's Loop.  This time it only took 9 panels vs.  the 16 panels with my 81mm refractor and the 16 panels did not actually capture the whole loop.  Most of the image time was devoted to the panel with the Orion Nebula and the Horsehead Nebula.  I will post that image separately, plus I added some Ha data for that panel.

I normally load Tiff files, but my combined file was over a Gigabyte, but so I ended up  loading a Jpeg and I had to downsize it several times so the Click zoom would work.

Multiple objects in this image, but one cool thing I wasn't expecting, that was actually captured on my last panel, is faint capture of the Witch head Nebula (upper right corner).
