Description

This was my first attempt at a mosaic, and all in all, it went okay.  I wanted to capture shorter subs to not blow out the core, but I was woken up at 4 am by the sound of my mount grinding as it had run into the tripod as it did it's meridian flip, so I had to abort the other half of those shorter subs.  I had originally planned to shoot this target for two nights, and get each pane as it fully traversed the sky.  But with only a single night, one pane ended up being in much better conditions.  I'm slowly getting better at processing, and my inexperience shows with this image, but I'm thankful for the wealth of knowledge that people have put out there for beginners like me.  Now that I've made the jump into mosaics, I can't wait to do it again.
