Description

After a few failed tests with this combination, I was finally able to produce something worth looking at. This was a "test", I wanted to see what a 2 panel mosaic would look like. The main challenge with this equipment has been the terrible light pollution gradients from my Bortle 8+ location, very hard to process; and figuring the right settings for flat frames, they have to be perfect at f/2.2 with a full frame sensor. The new GradientCorrection tool in PixInsight was instrumental in making this data look like  something I could work with. For such a short integration time this one surprised me, it would surely benefit from more time but I have decided to publish the image as it was taken in a single night.
