Description

This was last weeks project for me... I may not have a 6200, but my little 1600mm in a 2x2 mosaic gets me close after 5 nights.  I was pretty happy with how the mosaic came out in Ha, so added some Sii and Oiii data to it.  Not a ton of Oiii, but enough that I  enjoyed making this area come out.  I usually enjoy a little deeper blues, but the teal was fairly natural and left it alone.
