Barnard 33 in 4 panel mosaic
This is my first go at a mosaic, and I have to say, a fricken lot of work.
However a few issues were fixed by using a mosaic.
1: The Alnitak artefact:
By moving the star closer to the frame center, internal reflections inside the scope were greatly reduced.
2: Having a bright object close to a dull object:
I varied the gain, and number of subs for each 'mosaic tile' to compensate.
3: I can now revisit a portion (quarter) of the image to add more data.
Overall, 150 of 60s subs used.
60subs for the top right quarter (gain 140), and 30subs for each of the other 3 (gain 100).
All very confusing.
The resulting file is 1.3GByte!
And thanks all for the tips (and laughs) yesterday :-)
