Description

Started playing around with more mosaic images since the RASA 11 takes such little time to capture.  This was a 2×2 panel mosaic in Ha, Oiii, Sii filters and stacked in AstroPixelProcessor, then detailed in PixInsight and PS.  Using the ASG Photon Cage I made gives really flat tilt-free imaging and has been doing mosaics much better than I was previously seeing, so pretty happy with that.
