My first attempt at a mosaic Sadr Region HA

[Rudeviewer]

I had my first go at a mosaic. I went to my first set of HA data using astrotortilla and then slewed down with about a good overlap left. I stitched the 2 linear panes together using MSICE, and then stretched them a bit. It is super easy to use. I had it figured out in minutes, so i believe anyone can do a mosaic. There will 2 more panes coming into the left side of this image whenever the weather lets me get 6 more hours of data. I would like to go all the way down to the crescent with this mosaic. 

This image consists of 2 panes, each 9 x 1200s images so 6 hours of data together.

Very nice first mosaic.

Good job RV.  20 minute subs are impressive for your CGEM.  And Sadr is so bright, you controlled it nicely also. Hard not to get some kind of a halo around it.

Thank you very much Jeff!  Sadr is very bright and i use a 7nm HA baader filter.  The halo is small but i still see it.  

I have had great luck with the CGEM DX and i think could get 30 min subs with no problem.  I finally started using a polemaster for polar alignment and the guiding has been super nice since then.

It looks as of tho i may have over sharpened with the high pass filter a bit in photoshop but other then that i am pretty happy with it.  Can't wait to add my other 2 panes into this.

I did a bit different approach and didn't sharpen the image as much.  A lot less steps taken in pixinsight this time so i didn't overcook things.  I think it looks better overall.

Wow, that's awesome!
I also prefer the second one, both are beautiful though.

Can't wait to see the next step
