Description

The RGB data for this mosaic (2 panels) came from the Moana Project (https://erellaz.com/moana/, blackrig).  The 10" custom reflector (1325mm) is located near Ft. Davis, TX, and is equipped with an ASI1600MM camera (0.59 arcsec/pixel).  The total exposure for all filters combined was about six hours.  All exposures were 60 seconds.  The images were processed in Pixinsight, and the mosaic workflow followed the method described in this video by Windy City Astrophotography ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1L3afpv0xU).   Bill Blanshan's Pixinsight script was used to reduce the number of stars in the image.
