Description

This is what happened when I did a mosaic with an Alt-AZ mount.  Next time I will try a few techniques to accomplish a more appropriate mosaic, but I thought it looked interesting.  Total Integration time: 244 minutes (15 panels,1464 stacked 10 second exposures). No darks or flats and processed with Pixinsight, Autostitch and Photoshop.  This was imaged the day after a full moon with no filters.
