Description

While this was one of my summer targets for this year, I was not planning on a two-panel mosaic until I framed it. My plan was to get the Gecko and Ha curtain in the FOV, but realized I need to go up one panel to get the dust as well. This is a dusty and rich starfield and I have tried to not reduce too much of those stars and retained colors. 

PixInsight's PMM did the job nicely for stitching the final mosaic.

On each panel (approximately a total of 30h):
~17.5h L
7.5h RGB (2.5h per channel)
5h Ha

Gain 26 listed in Tech card is Mode 0 Gain 26 Offset 10
Gain 0 listed in the Tech card is Mode 3 Gain 0 Offset 50.

I got 10 min darks at zero degrees as 5 min subs from the 600M were too time consuming to process. 

Hope you like this result. Clear skies!
