That turned out pretty well. A bit dark in the background though.
Mosaics are hard work. What worked for me was to take each panel the same time each night (don't try to do more than one panel in a night as different positions in the sky will give different brightnesses). Same everything.
Then blend them in a panorama program. These days Photoshop CC does a reasonable job. Its worth a go. I use PT Gui and its quite reliable.
Microsoft ICE is popular and free.
The hardest thing can be subtle colour differences that show up when blended. Photoshop's desaturate/saturate brush, burn/dodge can be helpful to adjust the borders. Also the select colour tool set to neutrals can be helpful in adjusting subtle colour shade differences.
Even so mosaics are for the brave!
