Early spring 2022, Ray and I have discussed embarking on a mosaic of the Cepheus region. As the weather has not been super lately, it allowed some more time to work on this project.

These images are composites, using data from several Piers @Roboscope and my own backyard setup (Celestron C9.25 with Hyperstar 4.0 on a 10Micron GM1000HPS mount, using an ASI2600MC Pro and the Optolong L-eXtreme and L-eNhance filters).

Quite some work went into integrating all this, including Sh2-129 with OU4.

Hi Manuel, 

Although there is still quite a bit to do it's already looking extremely promising, especially the Flying bat and Squiddy. You've done a great job incorporating the data from the different scopes which is a very important part of the project. I'm quite a way behind you at the moment when it comes to doing that and I need to spend time learning up on it. Old dogs can learn new tricks, it just takes a lot longer. :) 

Thanks for sharing this on the forum and I hope this may encourage others to participate in future mosaics on pier 14. Nothing on this scale of course, only up to an absolute maximum of 6 panes.

Cheers, 

Ray

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the comment.

yes indeed, lots more to do at the eastern end of this mosaic ...  While I al ready have quite a bit of data for the Cassiopeia objects, we need to connect them.

Quite promising indeed, and the integration was not too complex either. I had to adjust image sizes to accommodate for the differences in px size and FoV, but in the end the mosaic assembly process was rather smooth.

Cheers

Manuel
