Description

This is a 4 panel mosaic of M31. There is 12 each of RGB in each panel (144) plus 36 Lum in each panel (144). Sub lengths are 300s. I used photometric colour balance to stay away from the standard blues and achieve a more natural colour. It's far from perfect but after attempting this mosaic for a couple of years, it's my best effort. I learned the hard way that there are no short cuts to creating a mosaic There are a few seam issues on the right I couldn't quite fix but they are really only visible of you go looking.
