Description

This is a four frame mosaic I assembled in 2020. However, it was at that time I finally discovered/learned that my flat field images were too short and the shutter was leaving a shadow on the chip. It *might* be possible to someday go back and reprocess this..but it might be easier just to redo the mosaic correctly (especially with some new improved processing tools). So, a bit of a failure. Had the flats been better it would have been possible to see some intergalactic glow (and IFN).

It is still something of a reference owing to the larger field of view.

One positive, I did end up using this in a video:

So..there it is.
