Description

4 Panel Mosaic of the Cygnus Loop in Ha and OIII. Palette combination was R=Ha, G=OIII, B=OIII

Each of the 4 mosaic panels is comprised of roughly 20x400s Ha and 20x400s OIII. On the final night, forest fire smoke moved in so I had to supplement Ha in Panel 3 to make up for the lost quality.

This was my first attempt at attempting a mosaic as well as using the Normalized Scale Gradient script in PixInsight (thank you John Murphy). My experience with the NSG script has been excellent. I will attempt to process again using my old workflow and post the comparison.
