Hi,
This is my first attempt at a mosaic, to say I struggled with it is an understatement!
This image from Eta Carina through to NGC 3293 is made up of 3 panels and cropped. It really needs 4 panels as the orientation of the images is not ideal.
I downloaded a tutorial for photoshop but found it daunting, so I stuck with using DSS to do the mosiac. The rest of the processing was done in photoshop, using mainly healing brush and brush tools to work on the overlaps.
Three images.
Original mosiac.
Cropped image.
Context image.
Equipment.
Skywatcher ED80, orion mini guider, orion field flattener, HEQ pro 5 mount.
Unmodded canon 1100D, 8 minute subs at iso 800, total 80 minutes.
Darks, flats and bias frames applied.
Stacked in DSS and processed in PS7.
Cheers,
Justin.
