Description

We aimed Vespera at the Pelican Nebula for our first panel, and imaged the area for 7 nights using the built-in mosaic feature in the Singularity app. That mosaic feature allows you to draw a square of any length and width, and let the telescope do the rest! We did the same thing for pane 2 and pane 3, which was more centered on the North America Nebula.
  • 20.5 hours on Panel 1 (Pelican Nebula)
  • 21 hours on Panel 2 (North America Nebula)
  • 13 hours on Panel 3 (Edge gasses)

This adds up to 54.5 hours of total integration time, and each pane looks very good!
