Description

This is a 6-pane mosaic that I captured in 3 nights leading up to Christmas Eve. It was quite a struggle to eliminate gradients, which were made worse by the moon waxing toward full. I was finally able to eliminate visible bright zones around the pane overlaps by using the combination of Astropixelprocessor LNC, Pixinsight DBE, and GraXpert.

I used Narrowband Normalization mode 1 to create HOO from the duoband image.
