Sadr-Deneb-NA False RGB

I did my best to get it all together for a simple Ha , OIII , OIII and then did a little crop , id say Autopano did a good job with what I fed it.

 

The OIII for the middle panel wasnt quite as clean as the others but itll have to do for now.

 

I tried to have all three shots open as Ha and then OIII in PS to balance them against each other and it wasnt really as simple as it sounds.

 

I made False RGB panels then had Autopano assemble them for me but I had to take it back to PS to balance it a bit more after.

 

I really have a new found respect for the likes of Gendler and Rogelio for the giant mosaics done by hand.

 

30 10minOIII subs(NA area) , 22 10minHa subs(middle) , 25 10minHa subs(Sadr area) with 6nm Ha filter, 30 10minHa subs(NA area) , 22 10minHa subs(middle) , 25 10minHa subs(Sadr area) with 6nm Ha filter at ISO 1600 stacked in DSS then adjusted in PS CS2. Canon 500D(modded) , Orion Atlas mount and the lens was the Nikon 180ED @ f/2.8 and a 7x40mm finder as a guide scope.

 

Wow I just did the math and 25.6 hours total time is a new record for me , ack and I still need more.
