2019-10-23 First C8 Mosaic, plus bits and pieces.

[WestCoastCannuck]

Seeing 4/10  + shooting over lots of heat emitting houses unfortunately.  Still, I am happy. 

 

Had an hour out in my driveway this morning and while my C8 was cooling down I shot a series with my 400mm camera lens plus a 2X TC.   (ZWO ASI183MM camera)   This is a stack of the best 250 of 1700.  Full file uploaded.    PIPP, AS!3, IMPPG and LR6.

Seeing was wildly changing, so the mosaic is not a great example...  but I am still thrilled I managed to make this mosaic work at all.   5 panels that are each the best 300 of 1700 frames. 

C8, iOptron AZ Mount Pro, ZWO ASI183MM.   Firecapture,  PIPP, AS!3, ICE,  Astra Image and LR6.  There are some soft spots in image, so reduced to 2/3 of full size. 

These next three are 100% files that I thought came out pretty good.  The first two are crops from the last shot, which is the bottom section of mosaic reworked and shared at full size.  Two panels.

 

Thanks much for looking!  C and C MOST welcome and appreciated.

 

Clear Skies!!
