Description

This is my first attempt at doing a mosaic. I used SGP to create a 2 panel mosaic of the Pelican Nebula.  It was a hot and humid night, very hazy, and a bright Moon rose around 11PM so conditions were not good.  Took 30 images of panel 1 and 40 images of panel 2 (all 4 minute exposures) before clouds rolled in.

SGP very easy to setup and manage the mosaic. I then used PixInsght to process the mosaic. Followed a couple of videos and utilized a special DNA LinearFit script. It was not as difficult as I thought, although takes a lot of processing power.
