Vela SNR mosaic 103MP

This was a massive project taking 2 seasons to obtain 14 panels of images in order to create this massive mosaic.
Taken over many nights over 12 months it has been a huge undertaking of patience and frustration.
all up about 103MP.
Images captured with the ASI zwo294mc Pro.
Optolong L-Ultimate
Mosaic planned in The ASIAIR plus and Pro
Skywatcher NEQ6 Pro mount belt modified and of course the ASKAR FRA300 Pro telescope
Used darks but no flats Graxpert and the light pollution method in Astropixel processor negated the sensor pattern of the 2i94mc pro
Stacked in Astropixel processor, attempted the mosaic function but for some reason it just didn't like it.
Took all the panels into pixinsight, cleaned them BlurX NoiseX, Graxpert then saved them as Tiff files and used the Panorama function in photoshop. then reintegrated them into Pixinsight to process etc. Final touchup in Photoshop.
The processing alone too a few weeks getting all the panels together. It's DONE!

Comments critiques are welcomed and encouraged
PS the image here does not do it justice as the forum would not allow me to upload anything above a certain size
