Description

This is a learning exercise for me - my first try at building a mosaic.

In the first data set, each panel consists of 12 x 300s exposure and there are 6 panels total. I used AstroPixelProcessor for stacking and also used it to assemble the mosaic. Post processing included a crop and star reduction.

I plan to revise the image with more data to reduce noise and bring out more color.
