NGC7000… a section of it at least until I suss mosaics!

The Cygnus Wall in NGC7000 (The North America Nebula). 8hrs integration taken over 2 beautifully clear nights in my Dawlish back garden. All taken with secondhand kit sourced over the last year or so. I'm like an excited little boy with what this gear/software can achieve!

This is impressive! beautiful detail!

The only thing to complain 😁😇 it's a little bit too bright, I mean the OIII bright areas.

really really nice and love the non red Ha. 

id love info on a workflow in free software for mosaics, but i'm guessing you use pixinsight?

I've had good results with using Hugin for mosiac stitching, for example this is a six panel mosiac...

I know the image itself isn't that special but the stitching worked well. Hugin does a lot more than just plain stitching so you need to ignore a lot of it's features - there is a simple wizard mode - but the UI is a bit 'gritty' until you get used to it. It's open source and runs on just about any Os.

Will have a look Ty so much.

I'm hoping it's fairly image agnostic so it might do job. I'm thinking two or three panel mosaic on m31 if I get a small sensor, and I bet that's tricky to stick/match

Tend to agree with you. It was my first foray into using the Hubble palette with first use of L-Extreme filter so I think I probably got overexcited 🙂

Yes, I bought pixinsight after being so impressed with it after utilising 45 free trial. Being a Mac based graphic designer for 30 years I’m obviously very comfortable with Adobe photoshop/lightroom etc but being able to combine data easily from multiple sessions is great

im managing to do multiple session combining (just about) in siril thanks to help from here. not fully manual stacking though, about 50% so far. i even redid my m101 last night waiting for clouds to not clear. its not great for many reasons, but it is data from three sessions  doing a mosiac is concern and i might need to be able to do that if i get a 4/3rds sensor.

im sure i'd like it, which is why i don't want to try the free trial
