Across California in an hour

[Yawning Angel]

The California Nebula: My first foray into creating a deep sky mosaic, to see how the process works. This is 2 panels each of 6 x 300sec with an Evostar 80Ed / asi1600mm  x.85. 

N.I.N.A. handled the framing and sequencing perfectly - the manual rotator prompts where especially helpful! The usual raft of darks, flats and flatdarks (library files, not fresh)

My first try getting PixInsight to mosaic it didn't looks so good, but good old MS Ice happily obliged to give something useable. As a practice, I think the acquisition was successful at least
