Description

This is work in progress and a bit of an experiment for myself. It consists of a 12 panel mosaic taken from my back garden in Hungerford, UK with an Askar FMA180 and RC26 camera.
I plan to add to this but only if the weather permits. The panels were taken over one night, 18mins of exposure each and and additinal 4 panels were unusable as I lost darkness. I hope to add these later as they contain hte North American Nebula and the Veil Nebula.

I had recently 'piggy backed' my FMA180 onto my C8. This has been great because, whilst I predominantly shoot with the C8, I can simultaneously obtain data with the FMA180 and grab a sense of where my target lies in the sky.

That got me thinking of putting a mosaic together,providing me with three different fields of view of the same area of sky. I have included below two alternative FOV of WR134 for comparison.

The combined image is 2.5gb XISF and 130mb JPEG and so I havent uploaded them here but have offered up 20% and 33% resampled versions.
