Description

6-panel mosaic of this magnificent supernove remnent. 179.6 hours total accumulated exposure time, probably overkill for this subject. This is my first mosaic project that took two months to complete (9/4/2022 ~ 11/1/2022). I made many mistakes along the way. Also needed to fix elongated stars caused by the sagging focuser draw tube. In terms of post processing, I stacked and normalized background for each panel individually. After I feel comfortable with the back ground extraction, the panels are combined using the Astro Pixel Processor. The most challenging part, I'd say, is background extraction because the panels are taken across so many nights. Some residual background non-uniformity between the filters is still visible.
