Cygnus nebulosity

Another Samyang 135 f2 and QHY9 four panel mosaic, this one is a Ha OIII SII effort, processed as a HST image and then using the separately processed Ha channel as the luminance.  Each panel is 12 x 300 sec per channel through 12nm Astronomik nb filters.

Thanks for looking.

Nice work Mike - and amazing patience! I will be pairing up one of these with a ML 8300 soon.  Not sure i will get as far as 9 panel mosaics though.

Nice FoV creating a super 'skyscape'.

Thanks Paddy, this one is just four panels though, not nine and even that made my machine puff a bit!

Great image. I love the rendering in the, for this target, unusual palette.

Thanks Wim, for the colour balance on this one I just equalised the histogram peaks for each channel, reduced the green by iterations of scnr and then used the Ha channel as the luminance to sharpen the detail and brighten the image up a bit.
