Here's a mosaic, I created, using data of the Heart Nebula from the SPA-3 scope and Westerhout 5 from the SPA-1 scope. I used Photometric Mosaic in Pixinsight to create the mosaic....it was quite tedious to get the panels to match since they were taken with 2 different scopes and the fields were rotated, a bit, with respect to each other, so there was some distortion to correct. It's also dithered which really added to the computer time it took to process. As close as I could figure, there's over 30 hours of total exposure time.
Anyway, hope ya like my Heart & Soul!
