Well done with the mosaic. 4 panels over 17 hours and everything joined up. It was a lot of processing to extract the narrowband data and create the mosaic.

Thank Dave really was hard work

That looks superb Leandro. I notice that you had two sets of subs at each position of the mosaic at different gains -- I just wondered why?

Hi Tim
Thanks for your comments, With two different Gain it allows me to lift details without overexposing
I learned that from Dave (f6.3reducer) in a job of his in M42 done some time ago.
Thak again
