Easter SOL - the mosaic - my first one - NOW WITH REPRO

Well i finally did my very first ever SOL mosaic that works - kind of. I have learned through this process that the position of the "bright" filter adjustments in the lunt is crucial - i got caught out with a banding effect but hey i am happy if not stoked that i have completed this .

it is made up of 12 panels

EDIT - I DID A REPRO AND A NEW COLOR SCHEME - HOPE IT IMPROVED IT. WILL REDO THE LOT FROM SCRATCH TONIGHT

well Mike i think that if you did have a Ha scope your work would still be world class. I wished i had the scope in the condition its in now rather than what we persevered with at Nyngan but still i am happy with cattle class

Off to a flying start here. I find that checking densities with mosaics is easier the further from the screen you are. I know that sounds daft, but bring up your pic on the screen, then walk back a few paces, and take a look, you can normally see more easily the inconsistencies.
The other part you already know, tuning, tuning, and more tuning. That and practice.

Good start David. Some uneven illumination in the panels, but overall good detail visible. Speed of download and time from panel to panel is important. Particularly the panel above to panel below. That can be several minutes between and you will get blurring there if you are not fast enough. Getting the whole system totally on band is a bit tricky but the sensor you are using will make it easier. Larger sensors can be problematic with getting an even illumination. My latest solar image I have near perfected the panelling and mosaicing. It can be a tough road to perfection but if you persist you will get there.

Well Done David. I echo Paul's comments Mosaics can be a pain especially if the seeing conditions turn on you. Keep at it.

Hey Wow David, not much perfecting to do. One thing I Dig about your Sol images is that you leave some dark orange-red color in the background sky, gives it a real authentic look and creates an amount of 'Heat' in the general appearance, A great processing technique ! Top Class in my books
