Description

This was one of the first projects I started when back in SoCal this summer. I had planed to image the entire Cygnus Loop for a while and with my ASI183MC pro, it required 4 panels.
Now, having the new Poseidon-C that practically covers all the space of the entire mosaic, I am very much set up to repeat this next year investing the 28 hours for the mosaic, into one single image...
