Description

This was my first true mosaic built. I really wanted to replicate the look of the typical widefield presentation, but with each panel set at 1960.mm.

This was acquired over two nights 10 days apart. I had some windy skies to deal with, and grew a bit impatient, hence some of the oblong stars in panels 3 and 4. The detail in M65 and M66 felt amazing to pull through, even if I did oversharpen a bit. With more patience and integration time, I may take some time to recreate this again,
