Description

This is my 1st attempt at capturing a mosaic! It may also be my last… 😂 Much respect to those who do this regularly. I kind of made up my own process stretching both panels simultaneously in PS to maintain as even of a background. I manually aligned and stitched the two in PS as well. I’m pretty happy w/ the results; however, I can still notice where I stitched the two panels if I focus enough. Hope you enjoy and clear skies!

Panel 1 - 99×180sec subs (4.95hrs)
Panel 2 - 123x180sec subs (6.15hrs)
Total - 222x180sec subs (11.10hrs)
