Description

Ok, this was another two panel mosaic that I back burnered until I got around to spending the time to figure out mosaics.  I have to say, people are right when they say this is a challenging target.  Twelve hours of OIII on the panel with the squid, and it's still barely visible.  I had to mask it and aggressively stretch it relative to the Ha to get a more balanced image.  I may revisit this and try and get some more OIII, and perhaps some RGB for more colorful stars.
