Cygnus Mosaic now completed

[carastro]

This has been a labour of love, 2 full size panels and 2 small corner panels.  I am sure there are a few things wrong with it, but I have had enough of it now.

A few wasted attempts when the Samyang was orientated differently leaving bits missing. 
Total imaging time for the whole project  15hours 17.5 secs

(not counting abortive attempts to line up the last bit!!!
 

Atik460EX and EFW2, Samyang 135mm @ f.28                                                                                                                                                                           (Finally sorted the focus)

 

Starnetted version.  (Starnet won;t work on my computer and some kind soul offered to do it for me - I put the star back in myself.

Very nice, Carole.  I'm getting some Ha on the same area at the moment, and I was wondering if I should try for some OII.  I think that I shall have to try.

My SII filter produces awful halos.  I cannot quite justify a new Chroma one yet.  I was thinking of doing some experiments using a green filter as a third colour channel.

Fabulous widefield image Carole - colour palette is also spot-on, looks great - well done.

Don't know what sort of filters they are but could they be mounted back to front?
