My Most Detailed Mosaic Ever in Very Good Seeing

[cshahar]

These images were taken on the 11th of October of ARs 2599 & 2600. Although the seeing for the first part of the session (when I did the animations) was very variable, it improved considerably when I did imaging for mosaics (4-4.5/5). Here are the results. The first mosaic is likely the best one I have ever rendered. Please click for best views.

Superb detail visible in all of those images, they show how important good seeing conditions are.

Incredible mosaic, it really does go to show how seeing can improve the quality of an image.

Superb detail Charles, can't remember when we last had really good seeing over here, do you put it all down to the seeing or that expensive filter ?

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate it.

Dave, I would say it is a combination of very good seeing, a 0.4A filter and me finally figuring out how to optimize my equipment. Thankfully, in North America we have the Deep Sky Chart which predicts good seeing, actually better than it predicts cloudy versus clear weather. I wish there was something like that available for European imagers. i don't even bother going out if the seeing is predicted to be poor (1-2/5). Also, I am really picky about what I keep. I have thrown out about 5 whole sessions this summer because the results just didn't measure up.
