Description

A five-panel mosaic of the Veil Nebula shot over 6 different nights between September 2021 and November 2021. I originally shot the centre of the Veil but I wasn’t happy that the edges of the nebula were just outside the field of view so I figured that this was a good opportunity to try my hand at creating my first mosaic. I expanded my field of view and shot four additional panels: one for each corner which I planned using Telescopius.

I’m very pleased with how straight forward the process was. I found that you really need sufficient and equivalent integration time for each panel to blend nicely.
