Heart and Soul Nebula Mosaic - Synthetic SHO

This is the first Mosaic with the 62mpx camera, and I had to stack each panel first, and then use the Mosaic Tool in Astro PIxel Processor to merge the two panels into a mosaic that is just short of 100mpx

 

The Synthetic SHO Version was processed using my documented process here: www.stastrophotography.com/creating-a-hubble.../
