NGC6188 - Dragons of Ara, take 2 (mosaic)

After my previous first attempt in mono on the dragons, I thought of keeping things simple. So, about 29h of imaging time later, I ended up with a 4 tile mosaic and a 100 Megapixels monstrosity.

Imaging was done around the new moon in June and July. Same equipment: Askar 65PHQ + ASI533MM Pro + 3nm SHO filters. Dither and drizzle for all filters with every frame. Each frame 300 sec and the tiles are roughly equal in numbers, between 75-95 total images per tile.

Same pre- and post-processing workflow in Pixinsight, using the Foraxx Palette Utility script. Color adjusted to taste.

Happy how Pixinsight handled the tile stitching.
