Completed widefield Pelican

[steviemac500]

Finished my first complete mosaic. 6 panels in total with 10hrs on each. Processed minimally on PI with a bit of noise reduction and star removal. I'm really pleased with the end result, Comments and criticism welcomed as always. Hope you like it. The link to the hi res is below.

That's excellent. The mosaic is seamless and there is a clear distinction between very dark foreground dust and what lies behind and is just a tad brighter. Lots of structure in the main 'continent' of N America, too. There are no shortcuts to a great image.

Thank you Olly, very kind comments.

That's a lovely mosaic... It's revealing to see the whole massive area as one instead of the constituent 'bits'.

Yes that's really nicely executed - if you add OIII now, it'll be a lovely bicolour of blues & golds.

I'm thinking about it Martin but I'm not sure if I'll just prefer the image in HA only.

Thank you Sara, from you that is praise indeed. If I was to go down the colour route, would I need to match the amount of Ha data ( I've always done this in the past).

I always use the same amounts of OIII and SII data, but there are plenty of folks who don't. You could bin the OIII and SII data as well.

I need some OIII and SII data to go with my 6 pane mosaic..... I started to collect OIII in each of the 6 panes, but soon became disheartened with it and so instead I'll add the OIII and SII at a later date with the short focal length Taks. I've done that before and it worked well and was a real time saver!
