California nebula mosaic

California nebula 2 pane mosaic: Last night saw just enough of a clear spell to get the second SHO panel of my mosaic of this large object and a bit more to add to the the previous panel data taken on the night of the 25th September. The two panels were integrated separately in Pixinsight and combined in the linear state, with processing carried out on the mosaic in Pixinsight. The image was then reoriented with a black background and border added in Photoshop to give a more appealing view. Total integration time for both panels was 3 hours. All data were acquired in NINA using an ASI 533MM Pro camera attached to an Altair 60EDF doublet refractor fitted with a 0.8 x FR.
