Description

Tried a mosaic, possibly the worst time of the year to attempt a multi-integration .  The summer here on the East Coast has been an absolute bust, with barely any clear skies and constant- daily storms and endless clouds. . 
Only through great difficulty finding a few hours of clear skies, I pushed through a rather not-so-great framing on the Veil Nebula.   The idea was rather instantaneous so once I had 20-30 subs for one section, I didn't want to change the angle, so nothing is wasted, when clear skies are a rarity these days.  This might be a little over stretched and noisy, since there aren't enough subs where I'd feel comfortable enough to keep the stretch to a lower to preserve dynamic range and avoid posterization. 
But it is what it is, it was a learning experience throughout the whole process, I may attempt more, once we get out of this monsoon like-  tropical rainforest style weather to a drier period.
