And the monster grows! SMC mosaic.
Hi,
Finally some clear weather to add some more panels to this monster image of the SMC.
It's ceratinly turning out to be a challenge, getting overlaps on the image has not been an easy task. I have my pointing accuracy reasonable but it still takes up to 30 minutes to get each panel overlapping.
There's no easy way to do it, there's nothing bright enough in the canon 1100D live view to do quck centering. So each time I take a 30 sec exposure, check it and move the scope.
As you can see I stuffed up with an overlap trying to cut it too fine. I'll need to do another hours worth to make up for this strip.
At this stage it looks like I should do it with 20 panels.
Each panel being composed of 5 minute ISO 1600 subs, one hour total.
Cheers,
Justin.
