Cygnus Lyra 3 pane mosaic Kelling

[philj]

Brain is hurting a bit now so I shall leave this as is for the moment. This is a mosaic of 3 panes taken at Kelling using the modded 1000d and nifty fifty. Each pane 60 minutes of 3 minute subs at 800 asa. Camera running on SW Star adventurer.

Tail and Veil area panes were done on 2 separate nights with different seeing conditions, the neck was done over 2 nights due to cloud and a tree. The ghost of a branch can just be seen at the far right

This is my 1st DSO mosaic and its been a steep learning curve.

Thanks for the kind words guys

Had another play and I think that's it now. Colours adjusted (maybe a bit too green in places  ) but the lights have come on a bit more on the Ha.

great image love some widefield shots

This is really cool and encourages me to attempt my first widefield mosaic - I'm thinking about the Elephant Trunk area for this Winter 

Its especially captivating to see the Cygnus loop buried in amongst all the action - outstanding.
