Description

This image is my first attempt at a mosaic. It consists of three panels of 120 x 180 second exposures preprocessed & stacked  with Siril.
Mosaic was created with Microsoft Composite Editor & then binned 2x2. Postprocessing was done with Siril & Photoshop CS2. Imaging with the Samyang 135mm at F2 with a full frame camera presents its own problems with star shapes towards the corners which leads to some challenges when you try to stitch the images together but all in all I'm reasonably happy with the end result. Thanks for looking & comments & constructive criticism are welcome. 
Clear skies,
Tony
