First panel of 2x2 mosaic Carina

[DJScotty (Scott)]

This is more of a test than anything else, but I have to admit I am pretty happy with the results.

30 second exposures across the board for HaRGB. Approx 2 hours per channel.
ASI1600mm cooled to -10. HDR gain setting
TS 102 w 0.8 flattener.
AZEQ6
UNGUIDED

Used the Gendler method of combining the Red and Ha channels.

There is an issue with my calibration frames somewhere. There are a lot of streaks . Will endeavour to fix that before the final mosaic is completed.

C&C welcomed.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks lee.
The colours are a bit off.
My laptop screen is pretty ordinary.

Just need time

Looks good - Promising start Scott - I'm up to 7 (gasp) panels of this same target, and in NB - yep that's 42 datasets to manage - Mosaics are hard man....

[DJScotty (Scott)]

Wow that's a mammoth effort! Looking forward to seeing it.

New version with second panel posted.

Thanks Andy. By the way I loved the lobster on the Stargazing Live show!
