Rho Op region

Back to the beginners section for me. This is my first crack at a mosaic. Very limited data this time out as it is more of a framing test than anything else. 12 panels using the Evostar 72 and reducer and ASI294MC Pro camera, 5 minute subs, guided. 6 X subs on all bar one panel as I ran out of night and only got 5 good ones. Cropped to 16:9 sizing using probably the area of 9 out of the 12 frames, but not lined up neatly, it is probably cropping out half of the first and last rows.

Now to work out where the reflection issue is! Thankfully it is only apparent on the brightest of stars. I am thinking I will mount my wife's DSLR if I can get the spacing right and try that.

I don't consider this a finished product by any stretch, more of an experiment to find out the weak points. For one I need a PC with more grunt to integrate these things!
