Description

I tried and tried! Spent the last four or five days learning how to do a mosaic with Pixinsight. Should have tried with an easier target. SH2-132 is very faint once you move away from it's head.

Imaged on November 25 and 26. So I had big gradiant differences and colors. Found David Ault's script for improving Linear Fit which helped alot, but wound up processing each channel into separate mosaics and then combining in the SHO palette using Ha in red 100%, Oiii in blue 100%, and a 60/40 mix of Ha and Oiii in green. I was hoping for good skies to get more data, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen for a couple more weeks.
