Orion Mosaic
Finally finished up what is becoming my yearly tradition of undertaking a single giant project every winter. Last year it was the Jellyfish, this year I finally got my Orion mosaic. Actually the first time I've shot the Horsehead too, aside from incidental capture in widefields.
I messed up the data entry for my exposures somewhere, total should be about 60 hours, not ~70, but I'm not keen on re-entering 18 night's worth of capture:
Approximate data per each of the 3 panels:
- About 150 x 300", 50 x 30" 7nm Hα
- About 120 x 90", 50 x 10" ea/R, G, B
- 130 x 300", 50 x 30" 7nm Oiii for the M42 region only
Short exposures only taken on M42 and Horsehead panels, middle panel didn't need any HDR work
